hi, i have imported and exported dogs to and fro from uk and Usa for many years, it is not hard as long as you make sure you get everything correct and in plenty of time, you must find out if you need importation paperwork and that all is checked before flight,diffferent states have different rules and laws so check up with proper authorities, last thing you want is for your pup to be held up at airport because one small detail has been overlooked, or a mistake has been made in paperwork, pups from uk can travel to Usa at 12 weeeks old and do not require quarentine of any period, when i am exporting a pup i have pup in the house and train it to living in a crate, this reduces stress as the pup is used to the crate, it will obviously suffer some stress but i am sure it helps, also there are different types of sky kennels, i use the ones with bars not mesh, i do this because cws puppies love to chew and mouth things, i have over the years experienced young pups biteing at mesh and getting the large cannines caught in the mesh with there mouths wide open, i do not use vet bed or any sort of bedding incase the pup will chew on it and choke, i use only thick layers of news paper. if you travel to uk to pick up the pup and book it on flight as access bagage the flight is cheaper, access bagage sounds terrible but it is worth it, you can also make arrangments that the pup is checked during the flight by one of the flight staff. any dogs i have imported have been ok, they are stressed but soon get over it, normally next day they are running about carefree, many have been playing in my home only hours after the flight, i do not have any personal experiences of importing dogs older that 12 weeks so i could not say if it is less stressful for older dog to travel by plane. many people are against long flights for animals but i think if you want a Czechoslovakian wolfdog then you have a right to enjoy this wonderful breed as much as the next person, i hope some of this is of help to you, best regards paul
