looking at getting a few pups and gonna have to have them shipped by air. seeing if anyone could help me out with some info. going to have to pay for a crate, the dogs are all up on shots. just wondering the best place to look. thanks in advance

Well find the nearest airport from both locations and find out who has the most direct flights. Then ask about price. Watch them on the crates I've fought with them over that more then anything. There's are twice the price for the same crate anywhere and they say the dog needs x amount of clearance . then suddenly the crate you picked a size large to be safe is to small.

had that same experience.. make sure of the crate size!

note the temps where they are going. over 85 and you cannot ship... another tip would be IF Delta is in the mix they did have what they called "Delta Dash" was counter to counter and you did not have as many problems to deal with. another thing they will demand is a Health Certificate from a vet... shop around on that as some vets will rob you there even tho they have has shots, they will stick you again.

Where are the pups coming from. Eddie Moore is hauling a load of pups from Central Texas up through Idaho this weekend.
Adios,

I know a lot of these overland shippers use various means of shipping. But I've not had the best experience with it myself. I think there's decent money in it if a guy goes full time. That said it seems a big express van with kennels mounted inside and climate control etc. Is probably what they should be using or a box trailer outfitted the same way. Or maybe a European style box truck.
I've seen dogs stagger out of trailers looking like they'd spent a hour in a dryer.
The best I saw showed up in a rv but how that pays very well I'm not sure since everyone I've had to fuel up had poor fuel economy. Plus original cost and maintenance seems prohibitive. Just some thoughts.

Get ahold of Clay with (whoanelly) hound haulers he will treat your dog and you both right. Andy

The guy the pups are coming from won't use dog hauler it was hard enough to get him to fly them. Now we just gotta figure that out .
