Shipping

Shipping

Shipping is done via major airlines such as Delta American, United, and Frontier.
bustle of the main airport. This allows for an easy, smooth pick up of the puppy.

We contact our airlines and make reservations for the shortest flight possible. We do
book the flight for our customers, which normally can not be done more than 1 week
in advance. We then contact our customers and tell them the flight number, time of
arrival, and airway bill number.

The puppy receives a Nebraska State Health Certificate and a weather acclamation
statement from our Vet.

The airlines have specific regulations that have to be followed before they can allow
a pet to fly and these include but are not limited to:
Veterinary Health Certificate
Certificate of Acclamation (above 20 degrees and under 85 degrees)
Proper immunizations for age
Airline approved/animal safe pet taxi.

We try to book the puppies on an early flight so they are able to arrive at their new
home normally early to late afternoon. We not only have to watch the temperatures
here at home and the puppies new home, but also any stops along the way.

Shipping costs can vary because of location and airlines. Shipping usually costs
anywhere from $200.00 to $300.00 for 8-week-old puppies. As the puppy grows so
may the price of shipping. The rates depend on kennel size and which airline is
used. Sometimes it is necessary to take our puppies to a larger airport in Omaha or
Lincoln, in which case the price would be higher since we are quite a distance from
there.

Included in shipping:
Pet taxi (yours to keep)
Veterinary Health Certificate
Certificate of Acclamation
Small bag of puppy food
Puppy vaccination record

We do mail your puppies registration papers separately to ensure that they are not
lost in shipping.

About a week before shipping we start crate training (pet taxi) your puppy. We want to
make sure that your puppy is comfortable in the crate. We put the puppy in the crate
a few hours at a time. Sometimes much less if the puppy is very unhappy. Slowly we
work up the amount of time until we feel the puppy is fine with being in the crate.
This makes for a better flight because the puppy is already used to being in his/her
pet taxi.

We include the feeding and watering instructions for the airlines, so that the puppy
has food and water available in flight. They are required to follow the instructions.

When geographically possible we will meet you to deliver your puppy. We love to
meet the puppy’s new family.

Please be aware that the buyer is responsible for all associated costs in shipping their
new puppy. We do not ship C.O.D. All shipping costs must be paid in advance.
