    I have traveled many times with my pets, my boxer is a world traveler and my basenji pup is 4 months an just made a trip from Germany to Oklahoma and back again with absolutley no problems (other than pee'd in his crate, but I expected it out of a 4 month pup and prepared for that).

    Please feel free to ask any questions, I fly at least once a yr with my pets. Also since you said it'll be a little bit till you can go you'll have plenty of time to get the blood titer test.

    I shipped my basenji to from San Francisco to Okinawa and back. She did fine. She couldn't go on the same plane so her breeder shipped her later. The only slight problem we had was that she didn't show up when she was supposed to on the return leg of the trip. I was practically camped out at the cargo place in Wichita, Kansas until I got her back. Luckily she was only delayed for a couple of hours. I think someone walked her too as there was no mess in the crate.

    As for Hawaii and quarantine. Wonderful things have happened!! A friend of mine shipped a German shepherd there last year and as long as you have all the shots and exams in the exact order and at the exact times required there is NO quarantine at the state run facility any more!! The ag people check over the paperwork and send your dog home with you. Check out the Hawaii agriculture web site - there is probably some good info there.

    WBL and Kebasmom,

    Looks like now the quarantine time is only 13-14 hours wherever we are flying from as long as we have the right documents. Thank you for the info. (Where have I been reading all these time??)

    It’s nice to know that so many people are kind and supportive in this forum.

    I’d like to develop more friendship here. Thank youall!

    I was born in Germany, and I can remember between tours to the US and then back to Germany (family was US Air Force) our dogs always did fine…even my nervous Collie was ok when we got her out of baggage in Denver from our flight from Germany.

    I have flown with a dog of mine several years ago from England to USA. He was on as "extra" cargo. I had to pick him up at JFK and go through customes with the usual paperwork and check him in again at the ticket counter of my airline. I have also worked for a major airline and know that the pets are kept in a separate area and no hazardous items such as liquid oxygen are in the same hold as the animals. Most newer aircraft have that separate cargo holg heated as the air is very cold outside at cruising altitudes. I was extemely nervous and frank;ly scared about the flight but he did great. England has a six month quarantine but you allowed to visit your pet. I do agree with Pat…any way it is a tuff one for you...Good luck...

    As a reference when we brought C-Me, Franie, and Trip home… that was three baby puppies (9 and 11 weeks) that we had to take out of their carrier, ggggg... and it was exciting to say the lest. But we did just fine!!! I do remember one time that when I was flying from NY to SFO, there was a person with a cat in a carrier that was not concerned at all that the cat was going to go through the xray... I did tell her that she needed to remove the cat, her response was "why"... my answer.. "and would you go through that?"

    We finally made it home this past Saturday. It was so good to see the girls and they were really excited to have us back as well. We have been spending much quality couch time to make up for our time apart!

    My Basenji would never be able to do it. She loves to swim, but isn't that nice with other dogs. My Husky mix would totally love it though. :) We'd have to use a crane to get him back out. I have a "doggy swim day" almost everyday. The shelter I work with built a lake out back, and on the hot days we let all the dogs go play in it.

    @jessi76: I used a dog daycare often when my dog was young, and still use it on occassion. I looked for the same things ChaseandZahrasmom's mentioned, but I also chose the one I use because it's the same place I train my dog. The staff in the daycare knew my dog from classes, they used the same training methods throughout the day (so it continually reinforced what we learned), and it was double fenced & gated… even inside. on my dog's first day he only had a human buddy all day. then on day 2 he got introduced to another dog, close in age/size/temperment. day 3 they added another friend. They kept a file listing his "friends" so the staff always knew what playgroup to put him in. They took special care during the cold months and rainy weather to keep him warm & dry. and they only crated for 1 hr during the work day. the place I use is $25/day, which to me and my budget is alot of money, but I also think it's a very fair price to pay for the quality of care my dog gets there, which is really most important. If you have multiple places to choose from in your area, I'd drop by un-announced, so you can see what a typical day is like. Showing up without an appointment sounds like a good idea. I didin't think about that. Thank you :)
