Shipping   Several delivery options are available for your convenience and the comfort of the dog.The optimal time to transfer a young puppy is between 7 ½  to 9 weeks old. If for any reason the future owner would like their pup to say with us longer, we will provide all appropriate care, socialization and training.  The charge for this service is $50.00 per week.    Shipping costs for each dog will be quoted prior to transfer.  Costs will vary according to destination, size, weight and required health clearances.  We take the responsibility of shipping our puppies/dogs very seriously. Every precaution is taken to ensure that your puppy/dog is shipped safely to its new home.  Weather conditions may cause delays and/or cancellations.  During extreme heat or cold shipping is not permitted unless the airline provides climate control cargo for animals. In such a case, other arrangements will be made.    When the puppy arrives at your home he/she will have a complete record of all its shots and de-worming.  There will be a detailed health history record for you to give to your vet. The AKC registration papers are NEVER sent with the pup/dog.  They will be sent at a later date. Once they are received by us they will be submitted to The American Kennel Club (AKC) directly by us.
	Hand Delivery   We find that many of our clients prefer hand delivery over shipping. They feel more comfortable knowing their puppy is under constant supervision. Your puppy will enjoy a safe, comfortable, and relaxing trip which will include many breaks to relieve itself, and lots of play and cuddle time!  Depending upon the length of the trip, the dog will be provided with breakfast, dinner and snacks.
	International Hand Delivery   For most countries there is little or no difference between the price of shipping the puppy as cargo, and a round trip ticket for a person.  Your puppy would travel in a soft sided crate within the cabin with their personal tour guide, again under constant supervision.  All costs of hand delivery are to be covered by the buyer.
	Shipping to International Destinations   We can make arrangements to ship to practically every corner of the world. However, each country has their own rules and regulations regarding the importing/exporting of dogs. These may include blood testing, preventive treatments, and/or quarantine.  All costs will be covered by the client.   In some cases quarantine can be done here with us. This is a costly option which requires extensive paperwork, expenses related to pet passports and board until the puppy/dog is ready for travel.   *If we feel that the circumstances will not be safe or comfortable for our puppy or dog and/or the requirements for import are too extensive as determined by us, we will refuse the sale.
	Pick Up   Every client is welcome to come to our facility to pick up their puppy.  You will be able to meet and interact with littermates, mom and in most cases dad. Just because you don't live right down the street doesn't mean you can't come to visit and pick up your puppy/dog. We've had visitors as far as California, Florida and Canada. We will be happy to show you around the kennels and grounds.  We will also provide information regarding accommodation and transportation options.
	Visitors   Visits must be by appointment only. There is a tremendous amount of “behind-the-scenes” responsibilities which may include vet appointments, training or caring for a new litter, preparing or attending shows and trials, and other scheduled visits.  We do not want to turn away visitors, but our daily schedules must be carefully planned in order to provide the quality care and attention that makes our dogs exceptional.
