Booked show dog not allowed on the plane
The thing is my biggest complaint is they left the dog stranded. If they weren't going to accept him on the second leg of the flight why accept him on the first. The airline should be responsible for at least getting him home. With the two big shows coming up I am doing my dead level best to let them know this can happen to them. Apparently bilingual you have a problem with the breed maybe you need to do some history checking to see where the roots of the breed actually came from and what good they have done instead of just lumping the breed into the dangerous dog category but that is a whole other can of worms. American Staffordshire Terriers were on the banned list but were taken off by American Airlines they did in fact fly another dog out the same morning so it was just one particular agent. I think they all should have to take a test since half of them couldn't find a pit bull with both hands and a sign pointing to the correct breed. Do you have any idea how many people think they are boxers or even worse called boxer bulldogs which would be a mutt in itself? The majority of people see a big head, short coat and mostly cropped ears and automatically it is a pit bull in this case a amstaff. However they didn't vocally say the breed was the reason only that he was a snub nose and then the one person with customer relations saying she wouldn't even guarantee they would fly the dog home. Airlines are going bankrupt one after another you would think they would welcome any type of business. I could also point out the temperament tests, canine good citizen tests that amstaffs and pit bulls rule at but guess that would fall on deaf ears as well
