    I have traveled many times with my pets, my boxer is a world traveler and my basenji pup is 4 months an just made a trip from Germany to Oklahoma and back again with absolutley no problems (other than pee'd in his crate, but I expected it out of a 4 month pup and prepared for that).

    Please feel free to ask any questions, I fly at least once a yr with my pets. Also since you said it'll be a little bit till you can go you'll have plenty of time to get the blood titer test.

  • I shipped my basenji to from San Francisco to Okinawa and back. She did fine. She couldn't go on the same plane so her breeder shipped her later. The only slight problem we had was that she didn't show up when she was supposed to on the return leg of the trip. I was practically camped out at the cargo place in Wichita, Kansas until I got her back. Luckily she was only delayed for a couple of hours. I think someone walked her too as there was no mess in the crate.

    As for Hawaii and quarantine. Wonderful things have happened!! A friend of mine shipped a German shepherd there last year and as long as you have all the shots and exams in the exact order and at the exact times required there is NO quarantine at the state run facility any more!! The ag people check over the paperwork and send your dog home with you. Check out the Hawaii agriculture web site - there is probably some good info there.

  • WBL and Kebasmom,

    Looks like now the quarantine time is only 13-14 hours wherever we are flying from as long as we have the right documents. Thank you for the info. (Where have I been reading all these time??)

    It’s nice to know that so many people are kind and supportive in this forum.

    I’d like to develop more friendship here. Thank youall!

  • Its always wonderful when you can keep a dog with the family she loves!

  • Woo Hoo, glad we all could help

  • I was born in Germany, and I can remember between tours to the US and then back to Germany (family was US Air Force) our dogs always did fine…even my nervous Collie was ok when we got her out of baggage in Denver from our flight from Germany.

    That is great news….

  • I have flown with a dog of mine several years ago from England to USA. He was on as "extra" cargo. I had to pick him up at JFK and go through customes with the usual paperwork and check him in again at the ticket counter of my airline. I have also worked for a major airline and know that the pets are kept in a separate area and no hazardous items such as liquid oxygen are in the same hold as the animals. Most newer aircraft have that separate cargo holg heated as the air is very cold outside at cruising altitudes. I was extemely nervous and frank;ly scared about the flight but he did great. England has a six month quarantine but you allowed to visit your pet. I do agree with Pat…any way it is a tuff one for you...Good luck...

    When my daughter was pregnant she would stop by once a week and Izzy would always sniff her all over , most of all her stomach and around that area, her husband was afraid of Izzy being around the baby when he came , because Izzy is not a real friendly basenji especially to my son in law. Izzy has never had any aggression toward my grandson, my grandson is 7 now and Izzy is always there to protect him, when the grandson goes down the stairs Izzy is just one step in front of him like he is protecting him from falling. I don't know about other basenjis but Izzy loves kids, but not a lot of adults.

    New update: Tika is no longer in heat! Yay! Remy got neutered and is doing great! We got a dog trainer to come in assess the situation and she thinks it is starting to improve compared to how I described it when I booked her to come. Only Maia seems to need the muzzle, she seems to be very unsure of the puppy. We are working with her to build her confidence. The puppy doesn’t seem to have any stress with Maia around and won’t start anything. The muzzle is on just in case when I am home alone as I don’t want anything bad to happen when if I can’t separate them. The puppy is getting lots of training time to help her learn how to behave properly. With 2 people here we can have the girls on short leashes and they are fine together. They did have a small altercation of snarling but no biting and no one got hurt. The older female backed down and walked away. As much as I want her to be the top dog it seems that the puppy has a much more dominant personality. If they figure out the pack hierchy hopefully everything will settle down. The trainer says there are no pack instincts in domesticated dogs, but after having 6 basenjis I can’t agree with that in regards to basenjis. We can walk the girls together without muzzles now so I think things are more positive and they seem to be improving every day. When Remy is healed from his neuter I will get the puppy spayed and hope that calms things down even further. So far there is a lot more peace in the house. Please anyone let me know if there is anything else I should be doing to keep these girls on track. Thank you for all your advice and guidance! I am so grateful for this forum as what is normal for other dogs is not so much with these guys!

    @lvoss: Have you been counting days since she went in? Also, Walmart has $4 fleece throw blankets that you can use on your furniture for her to lay on as a compromise to britches. If you are really lucky you may be able to find them at Big Lots for as low as $2.50 I'd second what lvoss says about fleece - my pup is in heat as well although we're 10 days further in (Liyah started on the 8th) than you are :D. I found a bolt of fleece in Walmart's remnants section this week - cut 3 throws from it - actually thicker than the pre-made throws. The bolt cost 2.84 - quite a deal!
