Anyway dogs with the size of a addult CzW canot travel in the cabin, they go alone, in a box, passing for a very different pressure, speed and so on on the up and down of the airplane, shakes in the air because the turbulence, with the box handled by some different people, putted in a moving giant car together with the baggage ( sometimes more than 2 times, because the conections), believe me, its a very difficult situation for even think in training, no coment about the stress of all that.

I think, in Europe it is possible in most cases, to find a company who have experience with animals, maybe it will be more expensive and maybe it will not be a national company, but I think it is only in rare cases that it will not be possible to find a company who have experience with animals, but ofcourse I don`t know the exact situation in all European countries, so maybe I am wrong ?

I too think in most cases it will be possible to go by car to a stud dog in Europe, just like you wrote. ....I fully agree with you, that you can not be used as an example in this case

Nobody said breeding should be easy, but I think there is better options than AI ....at least inside Europe

Sincerely I am surprised that people think that is more better to travel 6000 km with one wolfdog female in the car than to send by fly the sperm and do IA. Sincerely I am very surpresed

Personally I were speaking about Europe ...if you travel 6000km from Spain, you will no longer be in Europe !
I don`t see what the problem is about traveling 2500km by car ...if your dog is use to traveling by car ?

Ok Rolf, you have one opinion but I don´t agree with you opinion. Only one question, if you are a breeder and you have your job, why you prefer to travel 6000km in car and you leave your job (is very complicate because you don´t know when your female is in heat and you cannot to plane your hollidays) and never you would use AI?

Do you think that is posible? do you think that the spanish breders will do your recomendations?

Ahh from my city to the French frontier is 800-900km. I live in the south east of Spain

The problem is when you have a holiday fixed and can not take anytime. How do 2.500 km. to go (24 hours) and the same back (5.000 km) and be in residence (any days) for the mate?.

Not is possible for me.

First of all, it is not necessary to choose the male who is living most far away, Italy is pretty close and have the largest number of CSW of any country in the world, it should be possible to find a stud dog there.
Another possibility could be to let the stud dog travel by plane, as there will be no risk for the stud dog to stay pregnant(due to stress by flying or what ever the problem might could be by flying with the female) as it is the female who gets pregnant and not the male, I am sure it will be same price if male goes to the female or if female goes to the male and it take exactly the same time
