We will ship puppies if needed. We use Delta airlines. The base rate to ship a puppy is $300. This fee covers the airline ticket, airline approved shipping crate, and health certificate. If the airport of choice has additional fees we will add this on prior, but we will inform you. If you wish not to pay the fees you will need to drive to the next closest airport that doesn't charge the fees. We do our best to get your puppy to you as early as we can, but please understand that weather can play a big role in the arrival. The puppies safety is our number one concern. Typically we will have your puppy shipped in 2-10 days from date of purchase. There are a few cases where it will take longer, but we will inform you as soon as we know if it will take more than the 10 days. We have all puppies checked within 48 hours of departure. We will only ship healthy puppies. It is possible for a puppy to catch a cold, kennel cough, or other viruses from flight, it isn't too likely, but it does happen. This we can't control and will be your responsibility because shipping the puppy to you is a convienience to you.
