Flying a Puppy

[Big D]

I would drive. Spend quality time with the pup and not worry about airports and crowds. Sounds like you have two days to do it in.

Can I ask the breeder to take care of this before I arrive?

What's the proper etiquette?

The airlines require a recent health certificate.... completed within 7 days of flight...... to fly a pup. The breeder will usually get it done for you and have ready upon your arrival, but usually it's at your expense, as part of the delivery cost.
