Quick Pick
Air Cargo Shipping
We absolutely do not ship ANY dog or puppy air cargo if the owner has not visited the animal and seen the animal in person. We do not offer air cargo shipping for puppies under 12 weeks of age. This is due to the fact that puppies between 8-12 weeks of age are entering a critical development stage known as the fear period. During this period a puppy is far more sensitive to the world around them and things can see way more scary to them. Its critically important to not subject them to excess stress during this period to build a mentally stable adult dog.
All air cargo shipping is done from the Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta GA. We charge a $250 fee to bring a puppy to the airport. There is a $50 fee for the health certificate required to fly. This certificate will be gotten the week day before the air shipping is to take place. The crate required to ship the dog in runs from $100-400 depending on the side of the dog. This crate ships with the dog and belongs to the buyer. And finally the cost of air fare for Air Cargo shipping starts around $400. This shipping method cost around $1000 on average with the cost of the transport to the airport, crate, health certificate, and air fare.
Flight Nanny Shipping
Flight nanny shipping is only available if your puppy fits in a carry on crate. Typically puppies between 8-10 weeks of age will fit in carry on crate. With this shipping method your puppy will travel with a person familiar to the puppy who is dedicated to stay with them until they hand them to you at the destination airport. You are responsible for round trip airfare cost for the flight nanny, the carry on pet fee, and an overnight hotel stay at a hotel near the destination airport. There is a $50 fee for the health certificate needed to fly. There is a $250 dollar fee to transport the puppy to the airport. Flight nannies leave from the Atlanta International Airport. There is then a fee for the flight nannies time that varies depending on the flight time. We will book the flights for our nannies to ensure they meet our requirements, we will also book the hotel. Typically flight nannies will overnight in the destination city and fly home the following day. The average cost for a flight nanny transport is around $800-1200 when you factor in health certificate, airport transport, air fare, pet carry on fees, and a hotel stay. The carry on crate used for this transport method belongs to the kennel and does not transfer with the puppy. Buyers will need to bring their own crate for their puppy at pickup.
Ground Transport
We offer ground shipping (by car) to our buyers of their dog or puppy. With this method we will bring your puppy to an approved public meeting location in your area or closer to you. We charge a per mile price for this transport method ($1-1.5 per mile depending on destination). This fee covers our fuel to you and back as well as our time. We only do dedicated runs meaning we are going straight from us to you. You can share a ride with other persons in your area also buying from us to reduce this cost. This will vary depending on distance. Approved public meeting locations must be well lit, open, in a safe area, and have visible cameras on the parking lot. We do NOT offer door to door delivery for our safety. Police or sheriff stations make excellent public meeting locations (and are our preference) as do most large name grocery stores (Walmart, Dollar General, Publix), malls, or gas stations.
Personal Pickup In AL/TX
You can always pickup your puppy/dog free of charge at our location in Brantley AL. For our safety we will meet you in an approved public location with your chosen puppy/dog. If you have paid a deposit we will travel up to 1 hour in any direction closer to the direction you are coming from to shorten your drive.
We also offer pickup for free when we bring the puppies to Houston TX to get their ear crops if your puppy is getting an ear crop at the time or you have a deposit on the dog. We do not transport dogs who are not going for their ear crops to Houston TX without a deposit. This means if the puppy you want is already cropped a deposit is required for them to hitch a ride to Houston. If we do not have any litters scheduled for an ear crop trip in Houston then this option is not available.
Personal Pickup At Atlanta Airport
If you wish to fly in and pickup your puppy at the airport in Atlanta we can meet you there for a $250 delivery charge. There is a $50 additional charge if you need us to get a health certificate for the puppy. You will need this if you plan to fly home with the puppy. We can also provide a carry on crate for $120.
PLEASE NOTE EURO DOBERMAN PUPPIES MAY BE TO BIG TO FIT IN A CARRY ON CRATE AT 8 WEEKS OLD!
