Yikes! I just checked to see how long a potential flight is from Calgary to Halifax...8-10 hours. 10 hours without the puppy being able to eliminate...that's not good!

Hi there, Westjet allows the puppy in a soft kennel that fits under your seat http://c1dsp.westjet.com/guest/travelTips.jsp;jsessionid=FGGb30fy6JyHnyp1wDNGCkMjk84XFls6pYNyrLSPsvDXK2ZgsT1J#pets The above link answers all your questions...Air Canada does not permit any animals in the cabin...

Thanks for all your replies! I just wanted to do what was best for the puppy...

Good idea with the ziplock bags and wipes. This is an experienced breeder and she has sent some puppies over the years to the US with no problems. It's just really too bad that the local breeder just wasn't up to par for my standards.

Yea, I thought about the pee pads and just taking the pup into the bathroom stall and holding her while she went. Not sure if that would be allowed though for sanitary reasons? I'm leaning toward the pup being flown down directly to us. It will be in the cargo section of the plane but it...

Not really. See, the breeder can send the pup in heated cargo at the age of 10 weeks direct from Calgary to Halifax. That is the age they are safe for that type of travel. By having the stopover in Toronto, it makes the day of travel twice as long for the pup as we have wait times until the...

Hey there, I have recently decided to change breeders from where we will be getting our brittany in the spring. This breeder is in Alberta but will meet me in Toronto (I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia) for me to pick up the pup. So the pup will be in the cabin the whole flight. My question...

Hi there, We are getting a brittany in the spring! They are awesome dogs! But needs lots of exercise every day!

Is it a good idea to still treat for heartworm prevention though, just in case?

Yes, the breeder we getting "her" from has been breeding them for 13 years and he uses them for hunting. Ours will be a companion pet, partaking in flyball or some sort of exercise like that. He fully guarantees the health and temperment of his pups. I've gone onto hunting websites where...

How do you know if where you live has problems with fleas, ticks, heartworm? What types of climates enhance these pests??

We're getting a Brittany in the spring...how do they fair with Goldens and Labs? I've ready they are dog/people friendly as well.

Hi everyone, I have a few questions on supplies we should have when he get our new Brittany puppy in the spring. I'm a newbie so go easy on me, lots of questions :) 1. Should we buy a wire-adjustable crate to grow with the puppy or buy a few different sized plastic-styled crates...

Canidae is an all-stages food, correct? They don't have puppy formula like the others (that's what I read on their website). We haven't told our son about the puppy yet as he wouldn't understand the timeframe in which a puppy is obtained. He'd want it like today :) We thought about maybe...

I have already purchased two books on brittanys...one by Beverly Millette and one by Richard Beauchamp (this is Kennel Club book). The second one much more informative in terms of details. It even has a little page to keep track of vaccinations :) I'll check out that thread! Oh one other...

I have been researching for six months now, no joke! I must be driving my husband nuts :) I'm glad the schedule makes sense..it does to me but I'm no pro when it comes to pets. I've never had one. We have finally decided on a Brittany. We are an active family and have a 10 year old son. At...

So should we feed at 6:15am then crate for 15-20 minutes then take it out for potty time and play time? (same for the 12pm feeding and dinner time feeding?) Just reverse the play and potty parts? Yes my cousins who are university aged will be done at the time we get the puppy and have...

I have a question about setting a crate training schedule for a 8 week old puppy. Any tweeks or suggestions are welcome as I'm a newbie. Puppy up at 6am - out to pee Feed puppy at 6:15am Play until 7:30am - then out to pee Crate until 10am Dog walker comes over - puppy pees, plays 10:30...

You'd think that the puppies would be ok all together in one safe place (as most puppy owners should know to expose their dogs to any others until shots are done). 12 weeks should be ok, it's afte their second round of shots...maybe 13 weeks?
