But I also see a lot of people who are from other states that will fly in the puppy to my airport as long as i pay the shipping bill...I don't really like that, is that safe at all? >.<
You're friend is incorrect. As a rule was posted from the YTCA Code of Ethics and Conduct. There is another reason not place puppies at such an early age, they are just being weaned, and often when moved to a new household they will tend to go off food. Hyperglycemia is a danger at that age. Another reason not to ship puppies.....I never do, for that reason and I want to meet my new families face to face.
