Interesting reading. A web search brought up this statement:
"CREATURES 'N CRITTERS--VIRGINIA--WOODBRIDGE
An Italian Greyhound purchased at this store was passed on to a rescuer after the people who purchased her decided they didn't want the dog. This puppy came from Royale Kennel in Whiting, Kansas, a facility that houses 1,086 dogs, according to a USDA inspection report from 2004. On the website for Royale Kennel is a staff photo of 6 people. If these 6 people worked 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, they would be spending 2.7 minutes on each dog every day."

ANY "kennel" that houses 1000 dogs and sends them to pet stores is a PUPPY MILL. Further information to support this is the owner, Opal Featherston's involvement with Kansas state "pet industry" inspection discussions.
I'm glad you love your dog, but you really shouldn't be supporting puppy mills with your money or recommendations. Please consider going to a responsible, low-volume breeder for your next puppy.

Answer
There are also companies that will drive your dog across country for about $500. Do a Yahoo search for "pet transport" and you'll get a bunch of them. Your friend could try putting an ad up at the local colleges - there are often students traveling who might be looking to make a few bucks.
Most airlines won't take a dog in baggage during the summer - too much risk of heatstroke. Although the cargo area where the dogs are is air conditioned during the flight, it can get fatally hot while the plane is on the ground. Most airlines have a website where you can find out the rules. I'd drive my dog before I'd fly it in the summer. If you do fly - get a sturdy plastic airline approved vari-kennel. Put loctite on all of the screws to keep them from vibrating loose. Buy four heavy nylon straps and wrap them around the crate in all directions, so that there is no way that it can accidentally come open. (Someone's Westminster Show Dog was lost at JFK this year!) Make sure your name and address and emergency phone numbers are securely attached to the crate in several places.
Also, make sure your dog is well crate-trained so that he isn't stressed during the flight. Never give him tranquilzers - they can affect his ability to cool himself.
I've flown my dogs to shows many times without incident (in November) - we always give the pilot a cute picture of our dogs as we board the plane to remind him that he has living cargo on this trip.
