Shipping Policy

​

We take great care to ensure that every puppy arrives safely and comfortably to their new home. Please review our shipping policy below:

Shipping Availability

• We offer puppy shipping within the United States (and select international locations, if applicable).

• All shipping arrangements must be coordinated directly with us prior to the puppy’s departure.

• A signed contract with the agreed upon policy must be completed prior to shipping.

Age & Health Requirements

• Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old before traveling.

• Each puppy will receive a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian.

• Puppies are up to date on vaccinations and deworming prior to shipping.

Airline & Ground Transport

• We use trusted airlines and ground transport companies experienced in the safe handling of animals.

• Puppies are shipped in an airline-approved crate that is theirs to keep.

• Travel time is kept as short as possible to reduce stress.

Weather & Safety Restrictions

• Shipping may be delayed due to extreme temperatures or hazardous conditions, at the sole discretion of the Breeder and/or transport provider.

• The health and safety of the Puppy are the top priority, and travel will only occur when conditions are deemed safe.

• Extreme weather may affect shipping availability. If temperatures are unsafe, travel will be rescheduled to protect your puppy’s well-being.

Buyer Responsibilities

• Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs, including airfare/transport fees.

• Buyer (or a trusted representative) must be available at the designated pickup location on the agreed date and time.

• All shipping fees must be paid in full by the Buyer prior to the Puppy’s departure.

Breeder Responsibilities

• We ensure your puppy is healthy, comfortable, and properly prepared for travel.

• We will provide you with flight/transport details, tracking information, and contact numbers prior to departure.

• If unforeseen travel delays occur, we will stay in contact with you to make alternative arrangements.

Scheduling & Pickup

• Shipping arrangements, including travel date and pickup location, must be agreed upon by both the Breeder and the Buyer.

• The Buyer, or a designated representative, must be present at the agreed pickup location and time to receive the Puppy.

Buyer Responsibilities Upon Arrival

• The Buyer must notify the Breeder within twenty-four (24) hours of the Puppy’s arrival if there are any concerns regarding the Puppy’s health.

• Any claims must be supported by a written veterinary report from a licensed veterinarian.

Risk of Loss

• Once the Puppy has been delivered to the airline or transport company, responsibility for the Puppy’s safety and well-being is transferred to the Buyer.

• The Breeder will not be held liable for loss, injury, or delay due to circumstances beyond their control once the Puppy is in transit.
