Well, knowing a little bit about overseas quarantine (up to 6mo in some countries) in many countries raises my eyebrows. I guess what I am asking is do you, ship. If so, how do you wrap your brain around the fact that they (the babies) are being placed in a case/kennel and sent away on a plane, train, bus, ect... I am not looking to be critical, I'm trying to understand how to handle such demands. We are really bad about attaching human emotions to animals, so we don't know if this is the way it is or that we are being over-sensitive. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE OFFENSE, this is a question out of PURE need for knowledge and comprehension. Thank you, Jon & Sheila

so you have an issue with shipping but not brokering puppies?
