Most puppies are ready to be shipped or picked up after they turn 8 weeks old, although we know you can't wait to have your new baby at home, sometimes it is better to wait in order to ensure a safe trip for him/her. The shipping date is subject to puppy's health, weather conditions and flight availability, we will ship our puppies only when the weather permits, please understand that the puppy’s safety is our main concern. The shipping cost is usually $300 (air shipping), which includes a current USDA Health Certificate, Acclimation Certificate, airline approved travel crate and air fare. Puppies leave from Kansas City International Airport to major airports; we usually ship them by Continental Airlines, American Airlines or Delta Airlines, always using the best service available. We make all the arrangements with the airline.
Summer Months:
We can not ship our puppies when originating and connecting cities’ temperatures are above 70° Fahrenheit at the time of departure; shipping might be done early in the morning if temperature allows. If air shipping becomes impossible because of the extreme temperatures, there are three ways to get your puppy:
- First Class Service: Your puppy can fly accompanied by a private puppy nanny or even one of us can personally do it, to provide you with the best and safest service possible, we’ll always try to get the lowest air fare, ask for details.
- Picking up your puppy: You are welcome to come! You can drive to pick up your puppy; if you wish, we can meet you by car (no more than a 3 hours drive for us in one direction), there is a $150 fee for this drive.
- Ground Transport: this is also a nice option, it is very comfortable for puppies and safe at any time of the year; drivers are highly trained and well experienced in handling dogs; prices vary depending on the destination.
