So the whole concept does sound truly wrong to me, but, I do have a few friends who have bought puppies from the internet that turned out fine, so im thinking of giving it a try. I would pick the pup up locally, but its a semi rare breed and I couldn’t track down a breeder within 200 miles. So what im asking you is, has anyone on here done this before/how was your experience? Anything to look out for? Anybody have any listing sites they can recommend? Thanks in advance ---

Came within an inch of buying a pair of sugar gliders online. Was going to drive to PA for pickup and to put the rest of the money down. I think as long as you can see the dog/records before you put all the money down it’s alright. Having them shipped is a different story. When places buy baby chicks to be shipped, they always include 5% more chicks because the probability of some dying on the way. what kinda dog josh? is it for the girl? ;D ---

Remember the [petsovernight.com](http://petsovernight.com) advertisement that used to play on the radio in GTA 3? [http://www.rockstargames.com/grandtheftauto3/petsOvernight/](http://www.rockstargames.com/grandtheftauto3/petsOvernight/) Their slogan was the best… “Delivering little bundles of love, in a box, directly to your door.” In all seriousness, my boss got some exotic breed from some top breeder down south. The dog was sent via a commercial airline and he picked it up at the airport. ---

shipping a dog on an airplane is expensive. Like $400+ what kind of dog are you trying to find? ---

> [@khoveraki](#): > > That’s interesting, I never thought of that. Transported in the hull in a normal carrier like a passenger’s pet? Yep, because they had to wait for the weather to be at least 50 degrees so the little guy wouldn’t freeze. Health wise the dog is ok, but not great. He chews at his tail a lot if they don’t give him some anti-itch medicine from time to time. I guess it’s extremely common for the breed though. I just can’t think of what breed it is, other than it’s one of those hypo-allergenic dogs that has hair not fur (no shedding), so it has to go for regular groomings to keep it from looking like a mop. No way it was $400 to ship it either. ---

Ironically enough we have bought our past two American Eskimo’s from a breeder in Missouri. Standard Eskies though They are impossible to find locally, and the breeder provides AKC rare breed papers and pure breed verification ---

^So you bought online and had them shipped or did you pick up? I know Toys are AKC recognized but not by the UKC 😕 I saw my first Eskie at the Akron Cruise Night a few years back (it was actually a Pomeranian-Eskimo mix) and have been in love since. The weird thing is, the owner I was talking to said her friends in Corning breaded them but I have had no such luck finding a breeder anywhere near here. ---

Bought online, picked up at airport I would recommend picking up airport over shipping, we arranged that the dog would be given a mild sedative before the flight and was flown to us in a dog carrier ---
