~Shipping a Puppy~

farm4chorses May 15, 2010 08:48 AM

HI,

I have a question about ground shipping a puppy. Its an Australian Shepherd. The puppy is located in OH and im in Pa, and I was wondering how much that would be, its about 500 miles?

Thanks for your time,
Carly

Not sure what the cost would be but it might be cheaper to make the drive with an overnight stay? Would be a great bonding experience.

It would be better for the puppy to be in careful, knowledgeable hands with a good driver in a car. Dog rescues and breeders often transport pups and dogs by relay, with people attending dog shows or who are willing to take the dog part of the way--and then another to take it from there. Doing it yourself or having the new owner come and get it would be best, though.
