1. Flying with a pregnant female can induce premature labor....Or spontaneous abortion. What will she do if that happens on board the plan.....not only are the pups dead mom could die too.

2. The time your friend is do to fly back is the time frame that the female is due to whelp. Is there a vet at the other end. What will be done with the pups? Flying with a dam and new pups can put all of their health on the line. And very possibly you can't bring the pups back in from the Dominican Republic into the states. Let alone the fees you incurr for each pup if they can be brought home.

The owner will be putting this female under duress and undo stress on the pups, which can very well kill them. Traveling through airports, subjecting them to germs, etc. My opinion is, find someone that can take care of the female while your friend is gone. Or your friend can postpone the trip until after her girl whelps.
