The balance of payment for your pup and the additional shipping charges will be due a minimum of 7 days before the date of shipping. Due to our distance from the airport and time constraints, we ship all pups on the same day. We will contact you with the date that your pup will be shipped and flight information at least 2-3 days before shipping. We would prefer not to ship pups on the weekend due to the heavier volume of travelers and both air and ground traffic. Dogs are shipped by commercial airlines in climate-controlled and pressurized compartments.
Dogs arrive on the same day as shipped.
Our customers are required to pay the airline freight charges, insurance on the dog, and return the shipping crate to our kennel, insured via a ground carrier. Health certificate and health records including shots and worming schedule are sent along with the pup on the outside of the crate. The AKC registration papers are sent by U.S. Post Office regular mail as soon as the shipping crate is returned. We have found that airlines will occasionally put a moratorium on shipping animals if the departure or arrival temperatures are excessively hot or excessively cold. We have also had them refuse to ship if there is any chance of delay at a plane-change airport.
