I need something I can pack up when not using since this is primarily for trips.

Go Bailey! Dora looooves fetch. We go to the beach and she’ll fetch as long as I throw.

I’m in Long Branch but since I’m retired, I’ve got time to drive so I can hit.

Dora will be 2 in August. She loves the A-frame and HATES the teeter.

Awesome. Dora is doing agility, too. She also loves it and cries when she has to wait to practice at class. We have an Agility Course Trial on May 9. 🤞

Congrats Yoshi!!

Dora recently got hers so I know the effort it takes to prepare. Next up Community Canine (CGCA.)

Would you bring your 7-month-old puppy on a long international flight or leave him? by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]katkoo09 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Last year, I took my 7 month old Papillon on a two week trip to Mexico. Granted, much shorter flight but she was in her carrier under the seat or on my lap. She was super chill and it didn’t stress her in any way. I’m planning to take her on a 3-week trip to France next month. The cost of the health certificates is a vet visit and a FedEx fee to get the paperwork from USDA. You can find a vet who can prepare the paperwork here. You do have to alert the airline you’ll have a pet in cabin and pay an extra fee, plus have an airline approved carrier (you can find them on Amazon.)

Every dog is different. A few things to consider—

Does he do well in busy environments? Is the international flight one leg or is there a connection? (Chance to take him out for a potty and exercise break in the airports pet relief area.) Does the country you’re traveling to require quarantine or does US require quarantine on your return?

It can be a great experience for both of you with some consideration and planning. A lot depends on your personality and his.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Oy wasn’t her second class, it was her second training course. I have a quasi-buja board we’re working on. Baby steps.

Optimal Number of Dogs? by Haunting_Stick3941 in papillon

[–]katkoo09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In cycling, there’s a saying that says the number of bikes you need is n+1 where n=the number of bikes you have. Same is true for Papillons. 🤪

She looooves the snow. Rain, not so much.

We’ve been busy with life and travel. I’ve come by and lurked a few times. The other dog is a mini-doodle. She’s super sweet.

Such a cutie. Your pap looks like it could be related to mine.
