How far did you travel to buy your dogs?

We had an hour's drive to view and collect Tyler,his Breeder wasn't far from swansea.

We travelled an hour and a half to view and collect Meg,her Breeder is in the Blackcountry.
Both were really good travelling

Re: How far did you travel to buy your dogs?

We got Logan from Liverpool so was just under 2 hours away, but totally worth it.

Piper was pure good luck, she was 10 minutes round the corner

Both have always been fantastic travelling, and have never been sick or had toilet accidents in the car

Re: How far did you travel to buy your dogs?

We traveled 4 hours round trip to pick up Zipper and only 1 hour round trip to get Lilly.

Both travel fine - so where able to drive 5 hours to Cornwall last week without a whimper from either.

Re: How far did you travel to buy your dogs?

We got Milo from Chesterfield RSPCA which is about half an hour away.

Jayjay from Creswell which is about 20 minutes away. But we looked at another BC pup that was in Oldham about 1 1/2 hours away.

Trinny from erm...... can't remember but it was about an hour away!

When I went to choose my boy I travelled all the way from Belgium but luckily picked him up the day after we moved into our house here in the UK but was still a hour and half drive and worth every mile
