hi guys, As I sit back and read some of the issues with flying with dogs, I have to reflect, I havent really had an issue flying with any dogs for a while now. Although I dont fly every weekend like other handlers, I do fly regularly and havent had an issue. Usually when I fly I take to 4-5 dogs and it never has been an issue. If the plane doesnt take animals, then I request to be put on a plane that does. Yes, I have flown with shepherds, kerries, terriers, water dogs, standard Schnauzers, and no, all my flights arent direct, and its not easy (sometimes theres a longer drive to the show site) but it can be done. Ive flown to the east coast, midwest, the south and a lot in the texas panhandle).Unless there is a moratorium (heat restrictions), then it can be done. As a note, if you are flying with animals to Conroe, TX, your airport is Houston Intercontinental (not hobby) been there done that. (anyone who has flown in for the astrohall shows knows it!)
