  1. Cheers Gomez. Yeah, I might overlap it so it's two weeks of waiting for my boy to be released instead. 30 days is such a long time to be separated. I mean, I'm talking about my future dog here, but I know we'll be tight
  2. Hi Gomez, Thank you for your help, I did read through that topic and remember reading about your shipping experience. Do you think it would be possible to do it a month out? A main reason for this is that I don't actually come from Sydney. So I would be having to make a separate trip back to pick up my boy, and basically it would be great to just land and be able to go and pick him up and take him home. I'm also looking at going to India on my way back, so it would be a great overlap to kill that month without him and be in India then pick him up from quarantine once I arrive back in Oz. It's entirely possible that I fly out of the US rather than Canada, so if you could recommend Dogtainers then I would certainly look at planning my exit this way. Any other advice/thoughts on the matter?
  3. Thanks for the info Jey, I appreciate your help. The dog will be flying from Vancouver to Sydney so I have to find a carrier who goes to Oz.
  4. Thanks Jey, when I get the dog next year I will definately start crate training a.s.a.p so he is used to it for the long journey. Where are the specs for airline appropriate crates? I'm guessing the specifications differ from airline to airline like most things?
  5. Hello all, I am an Australian living in Canada until September 2010. Early next year I am picking up a Vizsla pup from a breeder in BC and I am so excited and can't wait to meet him. As my visa expires September 2010 I will need to be out of Canada, which is ok for me as I want to head back to Oz. By this point I will have been overseas for nearly 2 and a half years, so I'll be ready. I've been reading a lot about flying dogs and how it works. What I'm wondering is this, is there a service that will transport your dog without you, or must the dog travel at the same time? What I am thinking is sending my boy ahead by a month and then meeting him at the other end after he has spent his month in quarantine. Any one have any thoughts on this, who does it, would it work? Any advice and experience would be really helpful. Sorry it's so far off, it's just I have been working out what I'm doing for the next few years, and my future dog is an important consideration. Cheers
