I picked up Quincy from his breeder, it was a 4 hour drive from me. It was great--met his breeder, who I knew by reputation was an ethical, responsible breeder, and I highly recommend doing it that way if you can. I wanted another pup with a different look and went to a breeder all the way across the country. Another ethical, responsible breeder who I spoke with many times over the phone. She shipped Jonas to me via Delta airlines and they took wonderful care of him! I was a nervous wreck, felt so bad for the little pup and was so worried something could happen to him, but out of the kennel he came, none the worse for the experience. He held his bowels and bladder for the entire flight, and his food and water wasn't even spilled! I was really worried because he had to transfer planes and had a 1 1/2 hour layover, but Delta said he was hand carried off the flight and waited inside the terminal office. And again, he was hand carried off the flight and brought into the terminal office where I had to show ID and they went through his shipping papers before they handed him to me. I would do it again if I had to, but I would prefer not to.
