Good luck, I hope you find something reasonable.

I could do a round trip flight for $326. But then it's $50 for the vet check and another $75 for a kennel and $125 for the pup to fly back.

Ours came $625 if I remember right.

People do this for the national convention every year. Don't laugh at the flying rabbits part. It's big business. :chuckle:

He used to be a hound hunter, lots of people know him and have used him and were satisfied. No matter who you get to haul your dog, I recommend having photos taken before the dog leaves so you can verify you get the same dog. Google says there is a facebook page for him but it wouldn't load for me.
