Have your veterinarian check for luxated patellas right away; can usually be
felt by palpation and owner observation of the dog (this regards the
Appenzeller question).
Now for the 700 Vari Kennel issue; not all planes have cargo doors big
enough to get them into the plane; I found this out "the hard way" ten years
ago so check with your airlines first as to the kind of plane that will be
used for your intended flight.
