The DEFRA pet travel scheme allows you to return to the UK from an approved country (EU plus some more) without requiring quarantine - the required vaccs include rabies, plus blood tests to prove that sufficient immunity is present.

You may not bring a pet into the UK from a private boat or plane.
So if your dog travels with you, it will be via the eurotunnel, a ferry or (if you have tons of cash to spare) a commercial flight.
We let our dog's passport lapse, the costs and legalities (and the fear of something going wrong and her ending up in quarantine) were such that we now use a fantastic sitter instead. Dog likes the sitter more than us ...
