I am breeder that needs to send 2 pups to America has anyone any advice on what to do?

I am a Bullmastiff breeder and have a guy who wants to buy 2 of my puppies. He is going to arrange all the transport and obviously meet the cost. Has anyone done this before and can they give me any advice as don't want them to suffer whilst on the journey.I am breeder that needs to send 2 pups to America has anyone any advice on what to do?
make sure if they are going by air, that they are going on specialist pet flights only as they are cared for by the crew much better and are not left on the hot tarmac in crates any longer than needs be, passenger flights which take pets under cargo do not interact with the dogs at all, i only know as we have done research in to emigrating to n/z and wish to take our dogs, there is also micro chipping and rabies jabs and pass ports to do, (this is fact check with your vet) dogs cannot fly untill they have approoved health papers)


this is not total rubbish as we are looking into this and have been told this information by pet and travel representitives, regarding health and safety, anyone wishing to take well loved pets abroad would do the same and want what is best for the animals,I am breeder that needs to send 2 pups to America has anyone any advice on what to do?
The first answer above,I can only describe as total Rubbish.


The process is very simple for the transportation. In the UK there are several companied that specialise in the air transportation of pets as cargo on passenger flights. The pups need to be over 13 weeks old before they can be considered for transportation. If you want to contact me away from here I can give you the numbers of the specialist nearest to you. It is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination.


To clarify one point once your pups are in the IATA approved container people will not interact with the pups and this for two reasons. One they do not want the pups to escape (it has happened) two should any harm come to your pups they would be liable. It is all about safety.
I've transported my dog and two cats overseas. There are regulations about traveling crates that you need to check with the airline about. Airlines require that water be provided at all times. Physically they will be fine, the hardest thing is dealing with the airlines. You also need to check whether or not they will need to be quarantined. The quarantine laws are really obscure in the states, so you need to check up on those.
Speak to your Local vet.The best bet is to contact Defra(Maff) as they will have all the update info which will you will need. They Will be able to tell what is required this end and over in america.Also as mentioned you need to contact a transporter there are many available and are specialised one who deal in Pets. Hope this helps
