Shipping           

Shipping fees vary and are the responsibility of the buyer.  They have been running $250.00.  This includes crate, toy, blanket, water, food, health certificate from our vet, all required vaccinations for the age of the puppy and transportation to the airport.  In rare cases, late flights might be held over due to bad weather and the airport charges around $150.00 to hold the pup overnight; this charge is also the responsiblity of the buyer.  However, we do try to monitor the weather and ship mornings preferred to avoid this. We will work with you to make shipping convenient for all involved, most importantly the new puppy. Puppies requiring shipping will have to remain in our home until they are 12 weeks of age due to the amount of stress this puts on these small puppies.  All shipping fees must be paid for before i will make any flight arrangements. 

For delivery within 100 miles we will charge a $25.00 fee to cover gas prices there are times I waive this fee if meeting you part way.

Local pickup is always welcome and is free of

Airport and once you get home

1. Call airport with confirmation number to confirm flights arrival time and were you are to pick your puppy up at.  The cargo dept will know were your puppy will be taken too, just ask for there number when you confirm the flight.
2. Be sure to offer water as soon as you get your puppy.  Give a pea size portion of nutra-cal and let them walk around a bit for exercise.
3. There will be an information packet attatched to the crate.  DO NOT loose this as it is very difficult, expensive and a long drawn out process to get duplicate registration papers.
4. If have someone there with you to drive, hold your puppy.  This can reduce car sickness, if they begin to drool or vomit, do not worry.  Just comfort them and keep them dry and warm.  This happens more often if they are in the crate, thats why if possible hold your new puppy.
5. When you get home allow atleast 15 - 20 minutes to use the potty and to exercise outside. Then offer 2 parts dry food mixed with 1 part wet food for the first week leaving dry food available 24/7.  Make sure they are eating, drinking and having solid stools.  Give a small pea size amount of nutra-cal 2x a day for several weeks, this will help stimulate an appetite and also reduce the risk of sugar shock (hyperglycemia).  Puppies spend most of there time sleeping and althought we know you are excited to have your new puppy, you need to keep activity and stress to a minimum until they get adjusted to there new home and surroundings.  Stress is the leading cause of sugar shock and loose stools/diarrhea.
6. Must have the puppy checked by a licensed veterinanrian within 72 hours of receiving your new puppy in order to validate the health guarantee.  Remember to bring the shot records and health certificate with you to this visit.  You will either need to keep the puppy in the crate or hold the puppy at the vets office. DO NOT place it on the ground, DO NOT let it interact with other animals (remember they may be there because they are sick and you do not want your new puppy to become sick).
7. If you are going to crate train your puppy do not use the shipping crate as it is TOO small.  You will need to purchase a larger more open crate.
