  8. We shipped 2 Cavalier king charles spaniels here over 3 years ago now, they love it here. Cost around 7 thousand AUD all in with vets vaccinations shipping kennels, quarantine act but all worth it! My boys have a great life here and i love to have shared it with them, rehoming for me just was not an option at all!! We used golden arrow i think they were called and very impressed, if had to do it all again would not have changed a thing, they took care of everything and told us what to do, when to do it! Easy as! As for the trip! don't think about it, must be awful but its awful for us too. We are doing it coz we love them and want to share an amazing experience with them. They will be fine loads have done it unharmed in the past
  9. Hi all, Have got some precious stones and wondering if anyone knows of any jewellers that would certify them? Have them sitting here and no idea what to do with them. Bought them from dubai cheap and wanted to really bring them back and sell them for profit but don't know where to start! Someone on here may know of someone who has done or some one who will or may even be a jeweller to give some advice on where to start.
