Shipping

I do not airship my puppies. There is just too many horror stories out there, and I once had a puppy shipped to me. That puppy was Prince, and he was traumatized to the point where he refused to look at or come near anyone, always running away and hiding, thrashing on the leash, etc. After finally a month of just having him in the house, and paying special attention to him at all times, and taking him out everywhere, he finally came out of his shell. He is now a happy, bouncy doxie, but he still won't let anyone take him out on a leash, or even hold him, unless it's me. To him I seem to be the only one who can be trusted, and he has bonded so close to me that I can't be out of sight without him whining and getting upset. And coming to someone else is, of course to him, out of the question.

But I was lucky with Prince. He was just extremely traumatized. There are many puppies who get lost, sick, or even killed while being air shipped.

So you understand now why I refuse to airship any of my puppies. There are absolutely no exceptions.

The best thing to do if you cannot come and pick up your puppy is to have him/her ground shipped to you. This is a safe, reliable way of getting your puppy home without you having to travel.

The puppy is put in a crate/carrier in an air conditioned/heated vehicle. Sometimes there are other crates around him or her of other puppies that need to be shipped, but usually it's just the one puppy. We stop frequently to let the puppy out to drink, eat, and use the outdoors. Not only is it safe, but it's a quick and easy way of having your puppy crate trained if the puppy is too young to have been trained before you adopted him/her! It also helps the puppy get used to different scents, smells, people, etc, so by the time the puppy arrives, he/she should be quite confident in themselves about where they are!

We charge $350 for ground shipping.
