I was at the airport once and they told me the crate was too small. I pulled the ears down like a Lab and said 'gee now the crate isn't too small.' They flew the dog in the crate. Scarier yet I was at an all breed two weeks ago and had a 12 month old bitch in a 36 inch crate at ringside and the AKC rep told me I had to get a bigger crate and to get her out of that one immediately.

That way when they look at them in the crate the ears are cutely 'wrapped' and not touching the crate. <G> OR.....we could change our Standard to accept down ears! <G> Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.marhaven.com -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sander-Haus Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 6:03 AM To: Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] shipping question 500 crate so i have a dog i paid for in illinois and i am trying to get her to virginia. we had a flight booked that took a 700 crate out of chicago but had to cancel it. that was a couple of weeks ago. now i called united back and no planes take that size crate until dec 7. well she was bred and is due in november so that won't work. i booked a non stop from chicago to dc but it's a 500 crate. breeder of this dog is 3 hours with traffic from chicago. can anyone flying to the national email me privately and let me know if they expect no issues with a 500 crate and how big their dog is? this is a 62 lb female and of course the "ears touching" thing is the question. thanks susan Sander-Haus German Shepherd Dogs www.Sander-Haus.com Members of GSDCA & GSDCA-WDA.
