Do you ship puppies and how much does it cost?

• We prefer not to ship puppies, but inevitably we must for people that live too far from West Virginia to pick up or meet. Several airlines transport puppies and we have found them to be adequate in their care of handling of each puppy's comfort (compartment pressured --heated/air conditioned). Temperature, distance, busy airports, layovers are all serious considerations to keep stress at a minimum for each puppy.      

• Shipping to the lower 48 states is based on current airline pricing at the time of shipment. Shipping puppies at 8 weeks of age is currently $375. (This pricing can change depending on the airline and fuel prices). Puppies older that 8 weeks will be more depending on weight. Charge includes the flight, crate, veternarian WV health certificate and transportation to the airport. Insurance is optional and extra.
