Shipping Puppies
Every customer is
welcome to come to our facility to pick up their puppy, but the majority
of our customers live too far away. Therefore the majority (90%) of our
pups are shipped to their new home by air cargo.
Puppies are shipped
between 8-10 weeks of age. This is the optimal time to transfer a young pup.
When it is time to ship
a pup, we make all of the arrangements for the customers. We have a
veterinarian examine the puppy and issue an Official State Health
Certificate. We purchase the transport crate which the new home will keep.
We call the customer with the airlines, flight number, date and time
of arrival, and airway bill number.
Puppies are only shipped
during the temperature range of 25f-85f. During the heat of summer this
sometimes requires mid am or evening flights.
Pre-introducing our
puppies to separation from their littermates for some time each day
(begin 5 weeks) and exposing them to motion by taking them for rides
greatly reduces their travel induced stress.
Shipping within the
states is $375 all inclusive. |
