For many, driving from the West Coast to Orlando can take over a week of hard travel. You’ll spend 8-10 days behind the wheel, logging around 5,000 miles of driving. Not to mention, you’ll be paying for gas, hotels, meals, and wear-and-tear on your vehicle.

But perhaps the biggest issue is the toll it takes on your dogs. Spending days confined in a crate during a bumpy, uncomfortable road trip isn’t ideal for any show dog, especially not one preparing to compete on the national stage. By the time you arrive, both you and your dogs are likely to be exhausted.

So, what’s the solution?

But this isn’t just about paperwork. This bill is about keeping families whole. We’ve had to make alternate plans for far too many of our clients because their young dogs couldn’t travel under the current rules. This often means boarding their pets, which is an emotional strain. The Homeward Bound Act will ease that separation for many.

Now, while this bill is a huge step in the right direction, it’s not the final solution.

Lizzie's journey with PBGVs began serendipitously when she met Gavin and Sara Robertson of Soletrader Kennel, renowned breeders of the breed. "I kind of fell into it from them," Lizzie recalls. "They were so generous in giving me dogs to show, and I was one of the first owners of Buddy as a puppy."

From the beginning, Lizzie's passion for the breed was evident, and her dedication quickly paid off. She showed Buddy as a puppy, and together they rose through the ranks, culminating in the extraordinary moment at Westminster.

The journey began with the meticulous planning and exceptional service that Signature Pet Transport is known for. From the moment Lizzie and Buddy arrived, every detail was attended to with precision. "The entire experience was seamless and stress-free," Lizzie shared. "Signature Pet Transport treated Buddy like a true VIP, making us feel at ease throughout the journey."

This feedback reflects our commitment to creating a hassle-free experience for pet owners, ensuring that every pet is treated with the utmost care and attention.

…we often receive frantic calls from pet owners or breeders whose pets were left stranded due to these issues. Their pets were denied boarding because the flights were oversold, or the limited number of pet-in-cabin slots were already filled by paying, full-fare passengers….

Buddy looked out the window, captivated by the gorgeous scenery and English countryside. We touched down at Farnborough Airport right on time.

As we taxied in, I could see the cars and awaiting family and friends of the passengers. I’m pretty sure Buddy spotted Lizzie before I did because he was excited!

The plane stopped and the door opened…

Embarking on a journey with your pet is an adventure filled with possibilities. With thoughtful planning and the right choices, you can ensure a voyage that is memorable, joyful, and sprinkled with moments of happiness.
