Hi All, I have been reading with great interest this shipping issue (regarding the US no longer allowing live cargo from Canada as of today) because I had been trying to get a female GSD for showing/breeding from the states and as of a week ago airlines were telling me there was a new ruling coming down ... I had no idea this was what they were going to do, this is just BS, in other wards put simply US can ship here BUT we can no longer ship to the US, I thought the US and Canada were friendly neighbours but this could just be the first step ......... I hope I am wrong but unless this is changed things could get get very serious I for one did breedings to US dogs years ago now that will no longer be possible ............. by the way shipping in to Canada is not easy at all almost impossible to unless you had lots of cash or the "right" connections, I found that out when I tried to get a dog from GA and/or CA.. An animal broker is required to ship twice a week or more ............... well that adds up to shipping over a 100 dogs a year, I don't know about others but even way back when I never shipped that many dogs ........... so I am a little curious how many of you ship over a 100 dogs a year as cargo??? Handlers going to shows don't count in this question ....... smile I hope this issue is quickly resolved for all of us.
