Is shipping an option?
Many people ask if it is safe to ship a puppy, they think animals are drugged and put in a box and treated like a mail order item. If this were how animals are shipped we would never ship our puppies!!
We have had very good luck shipping pups through Alaska/Horizon, Continental and Delta airlines both Continental, Alaska/Horizon use Climate controlled Vans to transport pets from the Cargo dept. to the airplanes, where they are placed in climate controlled cargo dept of the airline this is a lot like the cabin of the airplane without the seats and windows. Puppies are never drugged, they are shipped in a safe crate that and they can easily see out the sides and front, with food and water, a toy and a blanket, extra food is taped to the side of the crate in the event of an unexpected layover. 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 puppy used to their shipping crate, we also use crates that are bigger then 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 get your puppy.  We can ship puppies within the continental US. The charge for this service is $275.00, it includes the crate, vet-health cert 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 are 7 1/2 weeks old.

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 2 yr health warranty that covers certain genetic defects is provided.
