I have not shipped puppies and I am not inclined to. I sold one from my first litter to a wonderful owner several states away and she flew in to meet us at a show (we have a motorhome, we don't take babies into the show buildings) to pick her up. Other than that they have driven to us, sometimes several hours, or we have met them somewhere. The price of airfare and the fee for a pet to fly in cabin are not too much more expensive than shipping the dog itself. That said, I did have a dog shipped to me from Sweden. She has never been a good traveler which I think is an effect from that long, scary flight, and were I to buy a dog from overseas again I would fly over myself to escort the dog/puppy home. Live and learn. |
