Shipping Live Animals
BY AIR: We have shipped several of our puppies and have never had any problems in the past. American Airlines ships for about $750. This includes a vet visit and any additional boosters or vaccinations for the mandatory Health Certification issued by a state licensed vet. That is mandatory by the government so the pet can fly. It also covers the travel crate that can later be used to crate train (housebreak) your pet, and helps to cover our expenses to / from the Atlanta Airport which is 4-5 hr round trip, Birmingham, AL or Huntsville, AL.

If interested to ship, please contact me with the name of two airports where you could pick up the puppy, and your preference for day / time of pick up. We will try to accomodate your needs whenever possible.
Pick Up By Air: We can also travel to the Atlanta Airport to meet new pet owners who choose to fly in and take the puppy back home with them in a carrier under the seat. The airline should be contacted to get more details about the requirements for that particular airline. A proper carrier should be brought with the passenger within the measurements provided by the airline, and the airfare should also be worked out with them. If a Health Certificate is necessary, it costs $150. An additional $100 is required to cover our travel expenses (4-hr round trip) and parking at the airport.
Summer Embargo: If temperatures exceed 80F (Delta Airlines), we may be able to ship with American Airlines (cut off 85F). This can be possible if shipping early in the morning or late at night to some locations to avoid the heat of the day.
Personal Delivery by Air is also available, however all traveling expenses must be paid in advance with an additional charge of $500.
BY CAR: We also offer delivery service to your door to certain locations at the rate of $35-40 per hour driven (round trip), with a minimum of $200. An overnight stay ($150) will be added for every 8 hrs driven. A halfway meeting point is also possible.
ALL SHIPPING / DELIVERY CHARGES MUST BE CLEARED PRIOR TO DELIVERY OF THE PUPPY.
