Do you ship puppies?

No. It’s incredibly stressful to a young puppy and I won’t put them through it. I’ve seen far too many puppies traumatized by the shipping experience. I will not under any circumstances ship a pup cargo or allow a pup to be shipped cargo (meaning where he travels alone in the belly of the plane). I will also no longer send pups in cabin with either flight nannies or new owners who fly in. It’s almost always a VERY long, stressful day for them and it is just not fair to put an 8-10 week old puppy through that amount of stress. I spend a LOT of time building my pups’ confidence levels up and I see no reason to severely stress them with one very long, super-stressful day. Ground transportation is also not an option. I’m not willing to risk my puppy’s health traveling with other unknown puppies, nor am I willing to subject a baby to multiple days traveling alone in a crate.

So! If you live far, you have a couple of choices. If you are less than about 12 hours drive, you can drive in the night before, stay in a hotel, pick up your pup early in the morning the next day, and drive straight home; or you can rent an RV and drive home over however many days you’d like. If you are more than about 12 hours away, renting an RV or finding a private flight (NOT commercial) are your choices. Either option is far preferable to shipping because it’s substantially easier on the puppy.
