We may be taking our three dogs to New Zealand on a permanent basis this October.  (If all goes to plan!).
Munsterlander 4yrs that has separation issues, mostly resolved but I'm worried about the whole move!  We had her from 18 months.  Black lab 6yrs thats a big baby and very noise sensative, (had from 6wks) and our latest edition, an 8yr old working springer that we have had for a year and I'm sure wont care two hoots.

Any advice on transportation?  Has anyone shipped dogs to NZ?  Is it best to go via LA or Singapore?  Do they have to go on a commercial flight or can they be shipped out with horses on a specialised flight?

Any tips for settling them in on the other side?  We will be living in a motel untill we can find suitable accomodation that will allow us to have the crew. so we could end up moving about a fair bit to start with.

Anyone out there know of any good Agility clubs in the christchurch area, any do's and dont's we should know about once we land??

many thanks Bells

Hi e-mail me on spanishwaterdogs@supanet and I'll send your e-mail onto my friend who did the same as you with a lot more dogs and other animals :d  Hers have settled in well so it can be done.

Many Thanks!

I have e-mailed you.  I had started to think I was a little deranged, as people keep asking us if we are going to rehome them......
could you give away a child?

I don't know where you've e-mailed it to but \Catherine's e-mail address is Catherine@spanishwaterdogs.com  Just tell her Diane passed on her e-mail address.
Regards.

Diane

many thanks!

just found out it didn't work.  I will try again.

Best of luck to you as we are also more and more thinking that we will do the same :)

We went out there three years ago and fell in love with the place :)

Im going over to New Zealand in October for 3 weeks doing a bit of touring round. Does anyone have any info on the New Zealand show scene like where to find when and where events are?
