Flying a puppy home? - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I sent him home in the best condition I could, in the hope of him getting better care than I could offer, to his breeder who had more resources at her disposal. I appreciate your kind words, but the truth is you never know how you will deal with a situation like that until it happens to you. I shared my story because I have never heard of this happening to anyone else, and it was a total shock. I will never forget him! His breeder was heartbroken as well.

Whenever I see a breeder advertising shipping I shudder.

Is it possible to fly and pick your baby up and then carry them back?

Its what I'm planning to do in a couple weeks, as I would hate for something to happen, "shipping" them alone.

Yes. Some airlines will allow the pup to fly in the cabin with you.

My puppy London was flown to me from Oklahoma and I live in Maryland. I got him from a breeder I found on puppyfind.com. I decided to go with that breeder because it was much cheaper then the breeders that were close by. At first I was a little hesitant since I had never seen him in person and wouldnt be sure what his personality was like. But once he arrived it was love at first sight. The only problem was that I had to sit at the airport for two hours waiting on him because his plane was delayed.

Oh I can only imagine how heart broken you and your breeder were, this is truly a heart breaking story. I am sure you did what you felt was best for the puppy. what was meant was, seeing how sick he was, it would of been hard to put him back on a plane...that's all. I can't imagine how painful that was for you. My thoughts are with you, wishing you the best to find a new puppy to love, and close to your home. Happier times are ahead for you!!
big hug,
Ree
