Try Jetpets as well www.jetpets.com.au I have always found them cheaper than dogtainers and I get a breeders discount as well if you need it.

by **Mali** Sat Dec 27, 2008 8:30 pm

no worries and yep I will fill you in with what has been going on here shortly just working through the posts I have missed.

hi,this is getting a bit complecated the companies want the dogs weight,and closest airport,mmm dont know if its worth the hassle huh? maybe you could find a home closer,if not we can try,i suppose. Shocked

Perhaps you could find out all these details a male labrador would be between 35 kilos and 40 I would imagine. The nearest airport to where the dog is and yours would be the perth airport. They can only go by what you tell them. As for a crate they will work that one out at the depot. Go for it and see how you go explain to jetpets that you have never done this before etc and they should help you from there. They are a great company to work with.

Hi Sorry been away. I would say he weighs in at 40kg and the closet airport to me is Brisbane or the Gold Coast am happy to drop him off at either. No worries about the time I am not picking him up until wed 31st. Thankyou everyone for your help will keep you posted on the outcome

Good one!! If you need help I can help here but jetpets are really wonderful at it.

Ok I have a Dude update. Have just picked him up and he jumped straight into the car and travelled nicely home about 15mins. Had his frist hydrobath orthough a little stubin getting in once there did really well. He is fine with other dogs I have 2 female greyhounds and a male greyhound plus a 7month old greyhound puppy (who is really annoying) and he is just crusing along with the lot. Comes to his name.

by **Mali** Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:38 pm

He sounds delightful he really does can we see him by any chance? Photos please if you can.Have you tried listing him on Petlink and Dogmatch? If he does not get snapped up here?

by Yacket's Mum Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:55 pm

I cant seem to get the pictures to load up if I could have your email address minifoxies I will email them to you. They are not great as he kept walking towards me but you will get a rough idea. He is listed else where so if he finds a home I will post it everywhere.

by Yacket's Mum Tue Dec 30, 2008 9:04 pm

Hi, That would be easy if I know what photobucket was???Sorry not to good with this whole computer thing yet but learning day by day. Smile

by sharreem Tue Dec 30, 2008 9:07 pm

He is a lovely boy I am sure some one will snap him up in no time. What a sweetie.

by sharreem Wed Dec 31, 2008 1:51 am

if you go to the eighth little tab on quick reply and then copy past html link into the second spot then press ok it should work... sorry if i sound confusing just trying to help with the link thing for you.

He is a big fat beautiful boy. just only wish we were allowed more than two dogs. dont forget if you get stuck i can look after him for a little bit for you. angel loves friends to play with haha

by **Mali** Wed Dec 31, 2008 3:00 am

He is a lovely big chunky munky that's for sure.

by Yacket's Mum Wed Dec 31, 2008 6:01 am

Hi all just a quick update on Dude. I have a lady coming to look at him tomorrow with her hubby who have done alot of research on labs and is very keen on him and she is a vet nurse so his smell and weigh issue will be addressed. I will let you all know if he is adopted. I know I said I would hang on to him incase he can be transported to WA but I don't want him to miss a wonderful home if the plane fare is to expensive. Hoping you will understand.

by **Mali** Wed Dec 31, 2008 6:35 am

That is great and your right I hope he gets a new home and settles in very well. He is a lovely boy. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

by Yacket's Mum Wed Dec 31, 2008 8:25 pm

Dude has gone to his new home and will be much loved and a big part of there family. Thankyou to all who wished him the best.
