Seriously dude, for a whole lot of reasons... bring the bitch to him. I've done this it wasn't good.
That's not what I asked.
I know what I'm doing. Just asking if there's a method for shipping a dog.
Mate used Pet Bus? to get his dog from NI to SI.
Worked out the slightly cheaper than sending on plane, and the dog was run and watered along the way. Much less stress.

Whatever works, but don;t say I didn;t say .... ;)Quote:

That's the kind of crap you do that makes you so off putting. You have no idea what the situation is but you insist you know better than I do and interject your opinion when not asked.Quote:

No, sorry!! I was speaking to a guy sending a puppy to CHCH from Napier and it was $190 something direct flight...:o which is hardly any help to you.
Thanks I'll ring them tomorrow. The petbus place doesn't have anything going in time.
Between the UK and Ireland there are Greyhoundcourriers working. Proffesionel guys who travel greyhounds to racing courts, matings, ........ When I want to sent a dog to Ireland I travel up to the UK by car and drop him on one of these trucks. I travel 7/8 hours myself , through France , the tunnel and up in the UK .
Mayby look around in the greyhoundworld of NZ, that might also exist over there.
RC GSP I have just flown 2 pups. See here for info Pet Services - National Cargo - Company Information - Air New Zealand - New Zealand Site.
The 0800 number has the prices. It is $193 between islands up to 20Kg but I do not know the same island rate or the over Kgs rate.
I always try to get the dog to me when I want to mate my bitches. The travel and unfamilar routine can upset the cycle in some bitches and the dog seems to usually only have one thing on his mind whereever he is :)
Good luck with the mating.
Ryen if it is any use, I flew a dog from Christchurch into Gizzy with Air NZ, cost just under $200 from memory
He's booked in to fly tomorrow AM with Air NZ, thanks
See... it's only a post, you don;t have to take one iota of notice... or offense, but if I didn;t say it I would be remiss... because I did it with Brick and regretted it. Whatever ytour situation hope it all goes well, but my opinion is/was... well shit... whatever works for you mate... But... i did say... good luck! :yuush:Quote:
