SHIPPING A PUPPY


** While I would prefer to not ship my puppies I can if necessary. In a perfect world it would be wonderful if every puppy Buyer could pick their puppy up in person, but the reality is that is not always practical due to my location so I will ship my puppies all over the United States depending on age, connections and weather. If I was not confident that a Crisanda puppy would be safe during shipping I simply would not put the puppy on a plane in harms way just for the sake of shipping. In thirty years I have not had one incident where my puppies or dogs were mishandled during shipping. A puppy should arrive safely at it's destination in a reasonable period of time, and my experience has been the airlines take good care of them. I arrange all the shipping details for you so that you don't have to worry about anything except showing up at the airport to pick the puppy up. Most of the time you simply go to the ticket counter to retrieve the puppy COD.


**It really is a painless process for the both you and it was just made easier by my newly authored informational guide, The A to Z Guide For Buying And Shipping A Puppy! This guide takes you step by step through the entire purchasing and shipping process, and was written to assist first time Buyers with the process of purchasing and shipping a puppy. The process is not a difficult one at all, however the terminology for novices can be something in which they are not familiar so I walk you through step by step so you feel informed and comfortable about the process. In most cases a puppy can be shipped to an larger airport in your areas or city in less than 6 hours, in state less than 3 hours. We may have a direct flight from Billings to your city, however most connections from Billings will require a change of planes for the puppy. Alaska/Horizon Airlines, Skywest/Delta, and Northwest airlines serve Billings International Logan airport


**Weather restrictions always apply for cargo shipping, but not for dogs that travel in cabin with their owner. Weather restrictions by the airlines determine when puppies may be shipped. Extreme hot or cold weather conditions stop all shipping of pets. The Buyer is of course always welcome to come pick up their new puppy in person, and a Buyer is always welcome to visit my home and the dogs in person before making a decision. In most cases a puppy can be shipped to an larger airport in your areas or city in less than 6 hours, in state less than 3 hours. We may have a direct flight from Billings to your city, however most connections from Billings will require a change of planes for the puppy. Alaska/Horizon Airlines, Skywest/Delta, and Northwest airlines serve Billings International Logan airport.


**Buyer pays any and all expenses related to getting puppy ready for shipping including,
but not limited to, the following estimated expenses related to shipping:

"Airline approved" carrier (AKA kennel or crate) $40.
Health Certificate $45.
Rabies vaccination $25. (need for vaccination is determined by age of puppy)
Avid Microchip $35. (if applicable...determined by the age of puppy)
Special plush crate pad (bedding) for shipping in colder weather $15.
*Cargo Shipping (*Collect on Delivery)$180. See details below!

**All prices are subject to change based on charges I receive from the vet and airlines.


**The actual cost of the cargo shipping “flight” for puppy/dog, and flight insurance expenses are COD (collect on delivery) and are paid by the Buyer at the time they pick puppy/dog up at the receiving airport, *AND ARE NOT* in anyway included in the *pre-shipping & handling expenses* listed above. Cargo shipping is *seldom, if ever* collected by the Seller unless the airport of the Buyer's choice does not allow for shipping the puppy to them collect (i.e. Northwest airlines does not allow me to ship a puppy collect into LaGuardia airport in NYC). In a case like this I would have to collect the cargo flight expense from the Buyer, but this will be clearly explained to you before you send the money! Cargo shipping is *ALWAYS* in addition to the expenses listed above.

**I welcome any and all questions to help you be an informed Buyer. **




  I actively support, and practice the preservation of this incredible little breed
and strongly encourage others to do the same.
