Memphis and Katherine

“Like most romantics, Memphis enjoys long walks on the beach and taking in sunsets.”

The Coppins family recently moved with their family dog, Memphis, from Melbourne to Auckland with Petraveller. Katherine talks about her pet with pride and explains why she used Petraveller for Memphis’s international pet transport to Auckland.

Memphis joined the Coppins family in 2010, soon after Katherine got married. Katherine smiles and says, “Memphis’s birthday is on 3rd September, which is our wedding anniversary, so we knew it was meant to be. I am Canadian, and at the time, we were living in Canada. Memphis joined us when we moved to Australia in 2013, and has loved living in Australia for the past several years.”

Adorable Spoodle Memphis is a quirky dog who enjoys being the centre of attention. Katherine laughs and talks about her pet’s quirky nature. She says, “When Memphis is lounging around, he has to find the most comfortable spot in the room, pillows on couches, beds or anything that looks like the ultimate comfort – he’s there. Also, he’s always on the lookout to see where you’re sitting so he can steal your spot.” 

Katherine continues, “Memphis has an obsession with shoes, he likes having them with him at all times, not to eat but just to be near. He loves being touched and cuddled, and somehow, for a small dog takes up an enormous amount of space in our bed. He prefers to be near someone than not.” 

Memphis prefers humans to dogs. However, he interacts well with other dogs when he’s playing or running. He can get a little barky when on a lead and big dogs go by. Katherine smiles and says, “Memphis can do tricks for treats like standing on his back legs and spinning around. Like most romantics, Memphis enjoys long walks on the beach, in the garden and taking in sunsets.”

After residing in Australia for eight years, the Coppins family and their adorable doggo Memphis were moving to Auckland, New Zealand, to be closer to family and friends. “We are looking forward to exploring New Zealand with our favourite little guy,” says Katherine.

Katherine decided to hire an accredited international pet relocation company to make the journey more comfortable and less stressful for her pet. Explaining the reason to choose Petraveller, Katherine says, “We read some amazing reviews about Petraveller going above and beyond for their clients and treating the animals with the best care. We felt that Petraveller was the best service provider for Memphis for a smooth and safe travel experience to his future home.”

Memphis was a well-behaved boy on his journey and landed safely in Auckland. Thank you, Katherine, for giving Petraveller the opportunity to relocate charming Memphis to his new home. We wish you a wonderful time with your family and Memphis in New Zealand.
