SHIPPING:
WE DO SHIP OUR PUPPIES/DOGS BY AIRLINE OR BY USING A GROUND SHIPPER. WE HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH BOTH METHODS OF DELIVERY. SOME AIRLINES DO NOT OFFER DELIVERY ALL YEAR ROUND, DEPENDS ON THE TEMPERATURE. WITH AIR TRAVEL, WE NEED AT LEAST 3 BUSINESS DAYS TO BE ABLE TO RESERVE YOUR PUPPIES FLIGHT. GROUND SHIPPING MAY TAKE A WEEK TO GET YOUR PUPPY HOME. THE SHIPPER WILL MAKE STOPS ALONG THE WAY TO WALK, FEED AND GIVE YOUR PUPPY/DOG WATER.
THE COST OF AIR TRAVEL IS AROUND $350--$450 AND THIS INCLUDES EVERYTHING NEEDED TO FLY. THIS AMOUNT IS DUE AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE BALANCE OF OF YOUR PUPPY IS PAID, THIS FEE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE COST OF YOUR PUPPY. YOUR PUPPY WILL COME WITH A CRATE, FOOD, WATER AND A HEALTH CERTIFICATE (AND THE SHOTS WILL BE UP TO DATE ACCORDING TO ITS AGE). PLEASE NOTE THAT SOMETIMES WE ARE NOT ABLE TO GET YOUR PUPPY TO YOUR AIRPORT, BUT WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO GET IT AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. WE ARE SORRY IF THIS CAUSES ANY INCONVENIENCES FOR YOU.
THE COST OF GROUND SHIPPING WILL BE HIGHER THAN FLYING, AND WILL VARY AMONG SHIPPERS (MILES TRAVELED FROM OUR HOME TO YOURS IS A FACTOR ALONG WITH THE SIZE CRATE NEEDED). FOR PRICES, PLEASE CALL DAKOTA BULLDOGGES, AND WE WILL FIND THIS PRICE OUT FOR YOU (AS THE COST CHANGES DUE TO GAS PRICES). WE HAVE LISTED A COUPLE CARRIERS WE HAVE PERSONALLY USED, AND WERE HAPPY WITH. WITH A GROUND SHIPPER, THEY WILL DELIVER YOUR PUPPY RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR (THEY WILL CONTACT YOU ALONG THE WAY AND WILL CALL MORE OFTEN THE CLOSER THEY GET). YOUR PUPPY WILL TRAVEL WITH FOOD/WATER, HEALTH CERTIFICATE AND WILL BE UP TO DATE ON THEIR SHOTS ACCORDING TO ITS AGE. THE CARRIER HAS CRATES THAT THEY USE, THEREFORE, YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO BUY ONE. THE COST OF THE CARRIER IN CLUDES EVERYTHING NEED TO DELIVER YOUR PUPPY/DOG.
WE ALSO HAVE A PUPPY NANNY WHO WILL FLY WITH YOUR PUPPY. SHE WILL PICK THE PUPPY UP AT MY AIRPORT AND WILL FLY WITH HIM/HER UP TOP (ON HER LAP). THE PUPPY NANNY WILL DELIVER THE PUPPY TO YOUR AIRPORT (OR THE CLOSEST ONE), YOU MUST MEET HER THERE AT THE TIME THE PLANE ARRIVES, AND YOU WILL NEED TO BE THERE ON TIME SO SHE IS ABLE TO TAKE THE NEXT FLIGHT OUT (SHE LIVES IN ARIZONA). WITH THIS METHOD, THE TEMPERATURE IS NOT A PROBLEM (AS THE PUPPY WILL FLY UP TOP, NOT IN CARGO).
WITH ANY WAY OF TRANSPORTING YOUR PUPPY, WE WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING. YOU WILL BE GIVEN ALL THE INFORMATION PRIOR TO YOUR PUPPY LEAVING. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WEATHER CAN DELAY YOUR PUPPY FROM LEAVING ON TIME. THEREFORE, YOUR FLIGHT MAY HAVE TO BE RESCHEDULED OR YOUR GROUND SHIPPER MAY TAKE LONGER PICKING THE PUPPY UP/DROPPING OFF. WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES THAT MAY CAUSE AND WE ASK THAT YOU BE PATIENT AND UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION.
