How to ship your sheltie puppy

There are 2 options available in obtaining your new puppy


1.) SHIPPING YOUR NEW PUPPY BY AIR
We prefer not to ship, but however have decided to offer it to our puppy buyers if needed.  
We ship through  Delta airlines.  
Shipping costs to the buyer are 280 (DUE TO FUEL INCREASE MAY VARY!) , and most times your new puppy/dog can be shipped COD.
Other charges for shipping are $30.00 for a health certificate required to ship your pet by all airlines.  
Also an airline approved crate which runs about $45.00 is required.


2.) DRIVING TO GET YOUR NEW PUPPY
I love to meet our new puppy buyers in person as we will have a relationship from the time your purchase your new puppy through its entire life. If your are not able to drive the entire way to obtain your new puppy,  
and would like to meet us, instead of shipping your new puppy by air, we will  drive and meet  you half way ,or up to 3 hours away, which ever is closer for us, for the charge of our gas.
