I will be in St.Paul on the 1st and then returning to Florida, I live about 80 miles from your destination. Do they really need kennels? I'll be stopping every few hours to walk them, so leashes would be all I need. I have an '05 E-350 12 passenger van, I only have 1 row of seats in it, so I have a huge carpeted area that they could be in. I could take them for $375. and 2 or 3 would make no difference to me. If you are interested or have any questions please respond and I will get back to you as soon as I see it. Thank you, Richard.
Response: I think that the 1st may work. Let me ask the breeder if Emma would be okay. I would prefer them to be in kennels since I don't know how they will be in the car :) When would your arrival time be?
7/27/2007 Response: : No problem, 2 or 3 doogs is the same to me. I don't own kennels, and I really don't know where I could get 3 of them for that size dog without spending alot, is there anything else we can do? I have called a few friends to see if they had one that I could borrow, but they were all for smaller dogs.
7/27/2007 Response: I can probably get the breeder to get the kennels for you. Are you able to fit 3 lab size crates in your vehicle. I just don't know how they are on car rides and definately don't want there to be any accidents. I think they will be ready on the 1st. What time would you be able to pick them up in Mt. Iron and what time would you be delivering in FL?
7/27/2007 Response: : I don't know exactly what time right now, but when I get my schedule set I can call you and them and give you times when we can meet. I'm pretty flexible. What about the kennels? Will I have to return them at some point to the breeder, thats not totally out of the question, I go to Minnesota about once a month. I just don't want the breeder to charge you for kennels. Reply back and let me know what you are thinking, Thanks.

Response: I should know tomorrow if I can accept your bid. I will be getting the kennels and you would not have to return them. They probably won't have leashes or collars. Will you be able to provide this?
7/27/2007 Response: : Yes I can get leashes and collars. And I forgot to tell you that I will have plenty of room for all 3 kennels inside of my van, which has front and rear air conditioning and tinted windows. They will be in good hands, I am a dog person too.
7/27/2007 Response: That sounds good. I will be getting with the breeder to make sure that the 1st is ok. If I am unable to have the breeder pick up the kennels, are you able to get them from the store and have me reimburse you? I only ask because I am unsure if the breeder can get them on this short notice. Sounds like everything should be a go. Thanks again. I just wanted to make sure that the bid would be door to door delivery from mtn. iron, MN to Malabar, FL. Thanks again.
7/27/2007 Response: : That should work fine and I can probably get the kennels for you, I just had a friend call me back to tell me she already gave her kennel to someone else, but she said that large wire kennels are about $50. each at Wal Mart if she remembered correctly.
7/27/2007 Response: : Sorry, yes that is door to door.
7/27/2007 This is Richard again, I will be in Sanford on Sunday or Monday right before I leave to go to Minnesota. If this isn't too far away from you I wouldn't mind coming to you and picking up kennels from you if you own some already. I only ask this because you sound like you have a few dogs and maybe don't want to have to buy more kennels just for this trip. Let me know, Richard.
Response: We are over 1 hour away from Sanford so don't worry. I was thinking of getting 2 regular 48" crates instead of travel crates because I will need them anyway. The breeder owes me a crate so I will only need two extra. Thanks for the offer though
