Is shipping an option?
Many people ask if it is safe to
ship a puppy. They think animals are drugged, put in a box, and
treated like a mail order item. If this were how animals are shipped
we would never ship our puppies!! After almost 6 years of shipping
puppies all over the US we have never had any problem other than
normal flight delays. Alaska Airlines
and Continental Airlines are the best pet shippers by far. The one-way
pet ticket costs have increased in the past few years. Both Alaska
Airlines
and Continental Airlines use climate controlled vans to transport pets
from the cargo dept. to the airplane, where they are placed in climate
controlled cargo compartment of the airplane that is very much like
the cabin of the airplane without the seats and windows. Puppies are
never drugged. They are shipped in
a safe crate in which they can easily see out the sides and front, with
food, water, and a blanket.
Extra food is taped to the side
of the crate in the event of an unexpected layover/delay. Shipping pups
takes a lot of time and planning. Pups must be taken to the vet just
before shipping to get a shipping health certificate.
We also spend
several days getting the puppy used to their shipping crate. We use
crates that are bigger than the airlines require for the size of the
puppy. This gives added comfort on shipping day and also provides you,
in most cases, with a crate that can be used for a few months after
you receive your puppy. We can ship puppies within the continental
US. The charge for this service is $295.00, which includes the vet-health certificate, and shipping crate.
Sometimes we can offer a discount
on shipping depending on the ticket price and if we are going to the
airport to ship another puppy the same day. The airport is a 3 hr
round trip drive for us so we combine puppy travel whenever possible.
Can I pick up my puppy?
Yes we allow the puppies that will be picked up here to leave after
they have had their second round of puppy shots, which is about 8 1/2
or 9 weeks.
Do you allow the general public to
visit and handle your puppies?
No, we are very serious about protecting our puppies, only those who
have a deposit and a vested interest in our pups are allowed to come
and visit. While we do understand the interest in this breed and why
many great families want to just come and visit and hold one, a lot of
times people will go from place to place viewing and playing with
puppies. What they do not realize is that they will be exposing our
pups to whatever germs were at the last several places they visited.
Do you have a health warranty?
Yes, all puppies come with a 72 hr health warranty that gives you time
to take the puppy to your vet and have a full check up to make sure
you are completely satisfied with your purchase. If you are not
completely satisfied the puppy must be returned to us ASAP for a full
purchase price refund. Any shipping charges are non-refundable. In
addition a 1 year health warranty that covers certain genetic defects is
provided.
