Well, here is my experience:
I am not fond of shipping and i only shipped once.... I had this feeling that it was the right thing to do... and i did !!! She paid the puppy and shipping in advance and waited until the puppy was old enough to be shipped safelly: 12 or 13 weeks...something like that ..... anyways , i made a great friend. I am in Massachusetts she is California... I never regreted....the puppy was safe on the shipping and had a stop for water and food.... it is a long flight....
it has being about 2.5 years and i get pictures and updates constantly.... this lady happened to reaserch on my blood lines and no one around her area had them.... of course it was a process and i had so many questions for her and about her life... her other pets.... It was a great experience. I can not say that i would ship again... i was so very nervous and it was not easy to put my baby on that plane.... But since your concerns are that you may be able to find better homes for your pets in another areas i wanted to share with you my good experience.... as i can repeat: i do not regrett and i made a great friend, we e-mail each other every week.... and her yorkie is now over 2 years old.... So i believe you will do whatever is right for your babies !!!
