Shipping is available and yes, very safe for the puppies. The actual cost to ship is about $250-300 (depending on the size of the crate/dog), the crate is $25-30, the vet certificate is $20. Shipping prices are rising quickly, I am trying to keep my costs down, so I don't charge for gas to the airport or add any extra fees on. Pups can also be sent collect, to most airports. If it is more cost effective to drive and meet you somewhere, we are willing to do that, for .40 a mile round trip. Delta is the preferred carrier, because they are close, and we know they take good care of the puppies. In the event of inclement weather (extreme heat/cold) we can ship through other carriers with climate controlled cargo areas. If you would like to ship through another carrier, we can check into it! If you would prefer to pick him/her up in person, we will gladly take this price off, and either pick you up at the airport on give you directions to come out. Also, we try to get the pups as close to the customer as possible, sometimes it is not possible, you may ending up driving a little. We do all that we can to ensure the pup arrives safely, to you, and hopefully as close to home as possible. If you would prefer to come and pick up your pup in person, that's great too!!
I will ship depending on the weather, puppy and your schedule. Since the puppies all spend the night in their individual travel crate for at least a week before they are ready to go, a few hours on a plane on their own shouldn't be a problem. They are not sedated and are quite comfortable as we send blankets rubbed on mom, toys and food with them. They fly the puppy Hilton so to speak. I also ask that my puppy parents send a t-shirt/pillowcase, something, with their smell on it, to put in with the pups. That way they associate YOUR smell with home, and they already know your scent when they get to you, it's worked out great so far!
Payment may be made by personal check, money order, wire transfer or paypal. The remaining balance (after $200 deposit) must be made at least 10 days before puppy is due to ship. There are no exceptions to this.
Or if you prefer, you can pay by PayPal, please plan on adding 4% of the total amount if using PayPal. Please let us know if you would like to pay through PayPal so I can send you the address. Please note: we will not hold a puppy without a deposit. Also, it is always better to call. I believe if you truly are interested in a puppy you will call. Phone calls get priority over emails.
I do not accept phone calls by TDD service, so if you are hearing impared, please email or send us a letter. There are too many scammers out there, I apologize for the inconvenience.
Health Guarantee: My pups have a written lifetime health guarantee against genetic disease. Please call or email me for a copy of this.
The difference between a lifetime guarantee and a year or two guarantee: first, I believe we are breeding a healthy pup, and if not, I need to know! If you have a written guarantee, and you have a problem in 5 years, you will contact us and let us know, whereas if the guarantee is already passed, you probably won't pass on the info to me. Not many breeders do this, most will guarantee for a year, or 6 months. Some may guarantee for 2 -5 years. Most genetic diseases don't pop up until they are usually 5 years old, and by then, the guarantee is up.
Spay/nueter: Spaying and nuetering can be done here, if the pup is of appropriate age, the cost is $125-$150, depending on the size/age of the dog and we're happy to keep them until they are completely healed.
If you would like vitamins for your pup/dog, no matter the age/breed, please contact me, I will send you info on some I have access to. I don't make them "mandatory", it's not in my contract you have to give them.
