Shipping information: I prefer that my owners come to me by car or plane and the puppy can go at 8 weeks old (but I know that sometimes this is not possible.) If you come to me by plane then you may be able to take the pup back as carry on luggage at your seat. Check with your Airlines! But if we have to fly the pup by itself then you need to find a flight that has a heated cargo or a Special Area for Live Animals and they go at 10 weeks. My owners DO have to pay the transportation costs though. I live close to the Calgary Airport so will not charge for my Mileage to take the pup to the Airport. I do charge for the International Flight letter and extra exam from my Vet for those who have to fly. That extra cost is for Cargo flight puppies only and is about $45.00.
Example only: This was the cost to Ship a 10 week old pup from Calgary Alberta Canada to Hartford Conn. USA As of May 10th 2004 Gross Weight ( Kennel and Dog ) : 8.5 K up to 28.5 in a 19 x 20 x 27 inch Kennel Flight: $158.00 Can. Plus $24.61 Flight Taxes (it includes navigational surcharge, charge by weight and security charge).= $182.61
Cost of Kennel : $55.00 - $80.00 depending on the Model You might be able to save a bit can by sending me your own Airline approved puppy Kennel, if you already own one , by Fed -Ex - 2 weeks before Shipping with your signed Contract and Guarantee and final Moneyorder or Certified Check payment.
Heated cabins are available on some flights not others so check on that. In the colder Months like December, we wouldn't want to ship a pup unless the cabin is heated.
If you fly out to me and take your pup back as carry on luggage they can go at 8 weeks old . You will need a crate that is small enough to fit under the Airplane seat. Some of my pups have used a Sherpa Bag ,Small: 16" L x 10" W x 9.5" H
Pups do very well as carry on Luggage and the people on the plane just love them. The cost is cheaper as luggage but then you got your own ticket price also to consider. |
American Kennel Club Registration: I will send you the pups CKC Certificate as soon as it comes from the Canadian Kennel Club and then you would get a form from the AKC to register a foreign born dog. Then you order a 3 generation certified pedigree from the CKC. ( I send all my owners a 5- 6 generation pedigree that I make up but the AKC wants a certified pedigree) Here is the CKC's Info: Canadian Kennel Club www.ckc.ca Email : information@ckc.ca Tel: (416) 675-5511 Fax: (416) 675-6506 89 Skyway Avenue Ste. 100 Etobicoke, Ontario, M9W 6R4 Form to order the Pedigree after I email you the puppy's Registration number : http://www.ckc.ca/aspweb/http/forms/pdf/100-13-07e.pdf Then you send the AKC : the CKC registration certificate, the certified pedigree & pictures of the pup's head & sides with the AKC form.
