Obviously grey areas (how relaxed of a personality the bitch is etc)

But does anyone have an opinion on when is a better time to travel with a bitch in pup ( what time during gestation ) ?

In this instance she is young with a good temperament, would be her first litter.

My concern is based on the fact I have a bad travelling bitch who went U.K. to Ireland and back had just two pups and really affected her, second litter was a healthy stress free 6 as she stayed in Ireland.

Far from ideal to go A to B to C very early on just thinking of breaking it up a bit where possible as I cannot avoid the travelling bit.
