It is safe to ship a pup and I ship all the time with no problems. Pups are vet checked and examined before traveling by plane. They are given a certificate to fly that is required by airlines. Pups are not tranqualized and is not recommended by my veterinarian. Airlines also do not advise to do so. The pup may experience some nervousness and may be scared when brought to the new home. He/she just needs some time and extra attention.
Please include 1st and 2nd choice of airports in your email when you wanting to purchase/confirm availablity. PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL ME FOR CONFIRMATION OF AVAILABLITY AND AIRPORT INFORMATION UNTIL A DECISION HAS BEEN MADE. This can create a waste of time for me checking with several of the airlines I use for flight availablity and create confusion on availablity. Pups can be sold at ANYTIME. Please decide on the pup first; I use 5 different airlines, so more than likely I can get a flight unless it is June-Sept..I only use 1 airline due to temperature restrictions all the others have. ALL BUYERS MUST ACCEPT THE DATE AND TIME GIVEN FOR ARRIVAL AND MUST BE WILLING TO WORK AROUND IT, NO MATTER THE CASE. It can be anytime during the week, any day of the week. I cannot take requests nor make any exceptions, I apologize up front, I have to many things to work around including a mostly full time job . I cannot ship on Mondays', Fridays' or Saturdays'. Please note that most airlines will not allow for booking/reservations to be made until 7 days prior to planned ship date (with the exception of Continental) and in some cases 24 hrs. You pay all up front, so there are no unexpected charges when picking up the pup etc.
SHIPPING COST IS $350 and up DEPENDING ON AGE OF PUP WHEN SHIPPED (weight etc), FLIGHT DESTINATION/FLIGHT AVAILABLITY & AIRLINE COST. Please note that I do not make ANY MONEY off shipping; it is what it cost me to ship. It is as I say, will not quote you a price and then change later when pups has been purchsed. I have heard of some breeders doing this and it is very unethical. I am not that type of person, nor do I work that way.
COST IS LISTED BY EACH INDIVIDUAL PUP; W/SHIPPING, THIS IS THE TOTAL; This is what it cost me to ship, and I make NO additional money,nor do I come back later and tell you its more; if it is, I cover it. I only ship WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES & US FUNDS ONLY.
Declared Value Insurance is additional and is declared value only, meaning that you cannot insure more than value/worth..this is through the airlines and not me...they will only cover the pup and possibly the crate if it is not obtainable. I recommend considering even for the piece of mind, once the pup is dropped of at the airport I am not responsible.
Cost is $.50 per $100 --- $600=$3.00, $700=$3.50, $800=$4.00, $900=$4.50, $1,000=$5.00
Cost is $3.50 per $100 if shipped Northwest (this airline used in mostly northern and northwestern states)
For cost of shipping 2 pups (must be littermates/in the same litter, and 8 wks): $450 9 wks & older $500
Below is the crate sizes I use which come with water/food dishes. Medium (most pups shipped in) is a 200 series. Please note, airlines ship by size of crate and weight. Pups must fit and be within guidelines to ship in certain crate sizes. MY PUPS ARE SHIPPED IN DELUXE NICE CRATES; NOT CHEAP CRAMPED INTO TO CUT CORNERS; should last well long into housebreaking, so another shouldn't be needed to be purchased soon after! You may upgrade if wished.
Medium 21 1/2 x 27" x 20"
Intermediate 22" x 32" x 23"
Large 24" x 36"x 26" for older pups or 2 pups (must be littermates)
I will do my best to make the shipping as cheap as I can without compromising the pups comfortablity and safety; I also have airline guidelines/requirements that I must meet. For more detailed information and what to expect, please click on the following link:
