But I guess if you are a big traveler it would take more in-deep knowledge of the dog or puppy you are wanting to get. A lot of puppies adapt and can be trained to be good travelers but there are some who never will so I could see the issues. Say you get the pup and it doesn't travel well but you needed it to and it didn't so you get disappointed or get rid of the pup. It's not as black and white as I first thought it my head. To know the the personality or a dog would make it more suited for that. Like Callie would be a great one but Joey not so much because he barks as lots of things and would be loud. If I upset anyone with my other post I apologize I definitely see the other side of it now. |
No worries Taylor....you didn't say anything upsetting. I understand how you came to the conclusion you did ...
