Puppy transportation????

[Officially Retired]

Ultimately for me it is the customers responsibility in all circumstances to come get their dog.

Agreed.

I just enjoy traveling and if they are going to pay for me to bring the dog to them it is just one more avenue of revenue that I can use.

Of course, as long as you're getting compensated, and like to drive, that's a personal call. I personally have better things to do than tote dogs from Point A to Point B. I love to travel too, but not with dogs, with a camera

It is also a convenient safe option for the person I am selling the dog to. I am completely cool with taking a nice little trip somewhere (as long as expense are covered)so I can get a break once in a while.

It may be convenient and safe for the customer, but it is inconvenient and unsafe for you. The major factor you're not even thinking about is the fact, if you cross a state line to deliver a dog (and someone does something with his dog that's illegal), you could be charged with a RICO Federal Crime for interstate traffic/breeding dogs for illegal purposes. If the guy comes to you, and is the one crossing the state line, then he's the one who gets the RICO Act ... if you're the one delivering across state lines, you get charged with interstate traffic.

I only sell my pups for breeding purposes, but even still, no way in hell I would cross a state line to delieve a dog to any dogman, but that is just me. That is another reason I don't like using planes, but even here I have the customer book the flight. The only time I have ever crossed a state line to send a dog to someone was to another country where our laws don't apply.

I will not let anybody come to my yard for any reason. I have had to many dogs stolen due to people knowing where my old yard was.

I don't have anyone come to my yard for any reason either. I meet them at a local spot, pocket the balance owed, and deliver the dog.
