Hi, I am sorry to hear about your experience. There are a lot of reputable breeders out there that do ship. Always ask for ref. and most definitely ask for the name and phone # of their VET. Then CHECK those ref. If they are doing things right, they will have a close working relationship with their Vet. I ship puppies all the time and have not had a problem. I use 2 different airlines and go for the one with the shortest flight and layover time. I will not ship a Yorkie under 10 weeks and prefer to wait until 12 weeks. In short there are honest reputable breeders that do a good job. CHECK REF. Good luck. Pam |
