SHIPPING

This is a concern that the majority of pet people are highly worried about. I hope that I
can assure you it is very safe. We think it is easier on a new puppy than traveling
across country with one.
First the airlines are as concerned about safety of the pet just as much as the buyer
and seller. They love pets and treat them with loving care. Everyone one of us has
heard horror stories about something that has gone wrong during shipping. This can
happen but rarely does. I personally have never talked with a breeder or new puppy
owner that can give me one incident of death or injury to a pet.  Delay of arrival can
happen but most the time the airlines pet desk will call and advise you of this delay.
This causes no injury or death to the puppy.
We tell our new buyers DO NOT worry. The puppy will be fine.
Below is what to expect to happen after purchase of puppy.
1.        Buyer will supply seller with all necessary information about who is going to be
picking the puppy up at the airport. Seller will need the exact name, address, city and
phone number of the person picking up the puppy, also needed is the name of the
closest major airport. I do suggest the buyer supply the seller with 2 major airports
(sometimes seller needs back up in case airlines do not take pets into the airport of
choice).  If for any reason buyer is not sure of whom will be picking up the puppy have
the seller put two names on the air bill (for safety Buyer and ease for pickup by the
buyer)
2.        Buyer also needs to give seller in valuable information to what day they can
NOT be available for pick up of new arrival. So when seller books the flight they will
have the above information on hand and make sure there is no problem upon arrival.
3.        The seller then will book the flight agreed upon by buyer and seller. Seller will
furnish the buyer the airlines, flight number, time of arrival, and a conformation
number (this is needed upon pick up by the buyer also some airlines require
identification upon arrival.) We do supply buyer with a phone number (of the airlines)
for you to call for directions to get your new baby. I do suggest this be done so there is
no delay in picking up.
4.        Seller does request that buyer call upon arrival of the puppy so seller knows all
is okay and puppy is safe in your arms.
This is a very easy step for buyer, it is as simple as picking up any passenger at the
airport and REMEMBER the puppy will be safe.
I prefer if at all possible that puppies are sent on Continental airlines, Northwest or
American. We do use other airlines but these are the airlines of choice.  
Hope this has eased your mind about shipping of you new best friend.
