The next decision is, do I fly up to bring her back, or do we ship her?
Where in Wisconsin was your dog bred?
I'm lousy with names -- I just take the ones they come with (all of mine were rescues). So far, of all the suggestions, I like Cinder for a lady black lab.
I've shipped many puppies (to and from). While it's a pain in the neck, I've never had anything go wrong (altho I know sometimes things do). If you can ship counter to counter (like Delta Dash) that is your best bet. As for flying up to get the puppy, if you like to fly (I don't fly at all anymore) then you have the fun of chatting and seeing the parent(s) (if you haven't) and also the littermates (fun)!
If I was willing to fly, I would probably go pick up, since it would be fun. But, I personally have no qualms shipping puppies or adults for that matter (altho the prices have gone way up since I first started doing it).
