Shipping

We have shipped several of our puppies and have never had any problems in the past. We like to use Delta Airlines because they can charge the shipping when you pick up the puppy.  That way we are not involved at all with handling the shipping money and you know that you are not overpaying for the shipping.  Arrangements can be made to ship a puppy through other carriers also.  Shipping usually costs less than $250 depending on the destination and airline of choice. 

There is a $100 extra charge for the Health Certification that is issued so the puppy can fly. That is mandatory by the government.  This extra charge pays for this special vet visit and issuing of this document.  It also helps to cover our expenses to / from the Atlanta Airport which is 4 hr round trip.

We ask that you would purchase a small airline crate from a company such as Petedge and have it delivered to our house.  The crate will be used to transport the puppy and is also where we recommend that you keep the puppy for the purpose of housebreaking (crate training). They love these crates and feel safe and secure inside of them, so it becomes their home and bed at night. They cost less than $35 at Petedge + s/h.  To see the crate, go to www.petedge.com and look up Petmate Vari-Kennel In Fashion Colors #DO311 (Dimensions 21"L x 16"W x 15"H).  Please feel free to contact me if you already have a similar crate with the above dimensions and I'll be able to tell you if it is airline approved.  If so, you can just ship the crate you already have to my house and I'll be glad to use it to send your new puppy to you.

The total rough estimate for shipping a dog is about $350 or so.  This includes everything.
