This is just a little note to anyone who is worried about how shipping will affect their puppy: Barkley sailed through it as though he'd been doing it from birth. He was shipped across country with a layover, and I had been really worried about how he'd handle it and what kind of condition I'd find him in. Naturally all dogs are different, but I needn't have worried a bit. Hopefully this will be good news to some of you who are facing the same thing.
Oh, I am so happy to hear that! Wrigley is going to be shipped to us in 2 weeks, and I just haven't felt right about it. I keep telling my husband that I'm afraid she'll be scarred for life. Your comments made me feel much better!
