Has anyone shipped a puppy?

Many years ago when we were posted to Cyprus we shiped our Labrador from England he was about 5 at the time. They do go in the hold in there own sized crate but it is supposed to be warm and secure.We were there to meet him and when they let him out of the crate he just peed up it and wag his tail happily did not seem to worry him at all, he done the return trip 3years later and them 6months quarantine.

Tink,

Ask Janet! (as I laugh).

Do you know any of other breeder of large dogs? Yorkies are delicate.

Okay Judy girl...you be nice....LOL

I would think that labs would be easier to send on a plane because they're hardier and stouter at an earlier age then yorkies. I think with yorkies they worry about their blood sugar going too low during a flight which is a problem with the smaller dogs. My sister-in-law has flown Irish wolfhounds to different areas in planes with no problems.

Even though my sister-in-law breeds labs, I am pretty sure she is up on the issues for many types of dogs so if anyone ever needs me to ask her about something or to be put in touch with her, let me know. She is an ace!
