Cost of dog transport?
I am finding the informaton on flying a dog from a breeder but curious as to the price difference in transporting by ground.
Can someone shed some light on the expected cost to haul a dog from Kansas or Oklahoma to Central KY?
Any dog haulers to stay away from?

Re: Recommendations for a Semi-automatic shotgun
Benelli Legacy. No jams, comes apart to clean in seconds, 20ga is a dream to carry. Regardless of brand, (they all are pretty good), it has to fit you. Otherwise you would be better off carrying a stick.
