I read it that he'd be coming over himself to set up for a couple of weeks and they would follow...its not the clearest

Regardless of weather though, i still wouldn't wanna drive from Calgary to Regina with a wife and babies in tow! That said, it is a straight, flat boring road, set the cruise control and go to sleep maybe?

Are pets flying domestic usually quite expensive? I know the last couple of flights i've been on (YYC-YEG and YYC-YYZ) people have collected dogs at the baggage collection area

I think the issue with the dog is the size - at 40kg, then with a super large travel crate, it might not be able to go as excess baggage and might need to be moved as freight. The cost of this might mean that a drive along the trans-canada is more feasible.

sorry folks should have been more clear. Im flying out first for 2 or 3 weeks to find a house and hopefully a car, then flying home to sort the shipping container and do the final big move with kids and dogs.
I Have done quite a lot of driving on the other side of the road in america so that doesn't bother me to much but yes it is a long drive after a long flight in a crappy rental car .
im trying to see if i can find a large pet friendly internal flight from Calgary to regina.

thanks everyone for your replies

Blimey Jamesmacc your situation sounds just like ours, we are moving to Saskatoon and i got a lot of help from the kind people on here. We just got several removal companies round to give us quotes. They were all about the same price apart from Pickfords who were the most expensive. We have 2 dogs to bring and are struggling to find a pet friendly house too. I have got 2 condos lined up to view when i get there. We arranged these off Kijiji by texting the people as emailing them didn't work and they got back to us straight away and are very helpful. I fly out at the end of this week and getting very nervous now as my family are following on later when I'm settled into my job.

Hey!! We started off in Sask too. Brought two dogs, Manchester-Calgary-Regina. Anyway I wanted to say when we were on our reccie trip to SK in 2007 we bought two plots of land in Rouleau for $1 each

We never did move there though we ended up in Indian Head. What do you think of Dog River lol???

We love it here, hoping to buy our first property here next month too and i`m lucky enough to work right across the road on a farm owned by friends

AlvicBC

Aww good for you. We have since moved on to BC, so sick of the cold winters lol. But I do miss SK, especially the friendly people.
