So many things have changed over the years too. I have flown a pup to someone in cargo - this was years ago - but after a lot of emails and conversations by phone. Would I do this now - No. Things are so much different now and I am scared sending a yorkie on a plane alone. Also I prefer meeting the people. | |

| IMO I think the question: -Not do any health tests on both the sire/dam? is very confusing. ~Joanne~
