The question "Is it safe?" is one we hear quite often. We feel it is a very safe
and good way to transfer a puppy - if nothing unforseen occurs. We have
shipped many many puppies very successfully and likewise we have
received quite a few that we have purchased as well. To date we have had
only one mishap. Our puppy was supposed to fly into one airport and
somehow ended up in the next airport in a nearby town. The people
purchasing our pup were very caring and drove the extra hour to go get
thier new addition. Things like this can of course happen - but they are very
very rare.

In addition to that trouble, we suppose that your pup could come into
contact with some uncaring person who could handle their crate rather
roughly. However, with the regulation now on the airlines and the public
scrutiny they had several years back it appears that the responsible care the
live animals now receive is regular practice.

Shipping a puppy is a scary new experience not much different than us
putting them in their crates and taking them in our car to the veterinarians
office. Every new place, sound and person is frightening to a pup whether it
comes from being on a plane in a crate or in your car in a crate. New
experiences although scary are all part of the socialization process.
