Question
hi, i was wondering if you can answer some of my questions.
I live in kuwait(middle east), and we dont have alot of pure bred dogs over here. There are petshops which get dogs in from other countries, and they sell them very expensive.

So i want to ship a dog in my self. I know alot of people in the U.S.A which have dogs for sale. They allowe me to ship the dogs, aslong as i do all the shipping. But the problem is i dont know how.  Can you please tell me how much it costs, to ship a large/small dog? and which airline do i have to use?
I'd appreciate any tips about this subject.. Thanks-Dooshi

Answer
Hi Dooshi
I am not sure what breed of dog u want to flight or ship into Kuwait?
I think you should call Delta Airlines that is who sends from Frankfurt Germany to the U.S. for me.
Also, I like U.s.Air, American Airlines.  When u call one Airline ask the price fo flight into Kuwait from wherever your buying the dog or pup and the crate size and age.  Make sure it has a ten day health certificate from a vet with shots do date and checked by a vet to board a plane.
Also if temperatures hit more than 86 degrees it will NOT flight anyplace or low of 21 degrees in winter months.
So, now we have alot of heat in the U.S. so it might be a big problem to get any breed flighted into Kuwait.  I have flighted into the Philliphines no problem but it was spring time temperatures.
Pick a good medium size breed like the German Shepherd, but watch also the U.S. breeders for they have taken me this is why I go to West Germany to buy and import mine.  U.S. will cheat you so be very careful on what your buying here.  It might be cheap but the warranty should apply and being your out of the country they could void that if they are bad breeders.  Many are so just be very careful on buying in our country.
good luck to you and ask the airlines u choose questions of price, where dog comes from and to where to your country to fly into and cost, crate size, weight, health certificat due for ten days only, shots, etc.  Ask many questions of the airlines that flies into Kuwait.
