Greetings, Poodle people!
[I posted this same message as a reply in another post, but I thought I would start my own thread so I can get as many opinions as possible regarding my questions].
I will be picking up our male Standard Poodle puppy in Medford, Oregon the first week of January. He will have just turned 9 weeks old.
The plan as of now is to fly up (from San Diego) and then drive back, stopping for one night in a hotel. Initially, I thought we could fly up AND fly back, but my concern is the puppy will be too big to fit in a carrier that goes underneath the seat. Plus I believe some regulations have changed with certain airlines. Not to mention the whole Covid situation and having to wear masks 24/7, etc. so I thought driving back would be better but did question the long ride for the puppy AND having to stay in a hotel.
My questions are for those who brought their Standard Poodle puppy home via air travel and/or long trip via car:
1. Air travel: What was your experience with the size/age of your Standard that you brought home in cabin? Anything you can share regarding their size/age, which airline, the carrier size, documents/vaccines, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
2. Car travel / staying in hotel: Anything you can share would be wonderful. If we do decide to come home via car, we will have a puppy crate for the car ride home
Thank you
