There are a few reasons that we do not ship puppies via airplane. The first and most

are adopting our puppies and get to know each other a little bit. That way we are assured the
puppy is being placed in a loving and caring home and the adopting families get to know us
not just as breeders, but as real people. Also during the drive you can be assured the puppy
is being well cared for and is being offered food and water at the appropriate times. They will
be in a heated/cooled vehicle with human observation at all times. We want to make sure the
puppy reaches you safely and the only we can assure that is to meet people ourselves. We
do not use a delivery service.

Bringing your new friend home
Your New Family Member!
When you introduce a new member to your family, it takes time for everyone to get adjusted.
Introducing a puppy is no different.
Before you bring your puppy home, decide where it will sleep, and where it will be kept when
no one is home. What's more, you should decide who will be responsible for feeding,
exercising and cleaning up after your new pet. Discuss training with every member of your
family, so that you will all deal with the puppy in a consistent way, and not send it mixed or
confusing messages.
DOG-PROOF YOUR HOME
Whether your new friend is a puppy or adult dog, here are important tips to help keep him out
of harm’s way:
Keep household cleaners and chemicals out of his reach.
Restrict access to plants that are dangerous to dogs: poinsettias, azaleas, rhododendrons,
dumb cane, Japanese yew, oleander and English ivy.
Store breakable items safely out of the way.
Hide or cover electrical cords so he won’t chew on them.
Safely store antifreeze, engine oil, laundry detergents and lawn chemicals.
Keep kids’ toys off the floor—since some parts may be small enough for your puppy or dog to
swallow.
Use a cover and/or protective fencing if you have a pool or hot tub.
CHOOSING A NAME
Here are a few tips to consider before naming your new dog:
Names should be short. A two-syllable name is best because it’s brief and won’t be
confused with one-syllable commands such as “No” or “Sit.”
Be consistent. All family members should use the same name—don’t use confusing
nicknames or variations.
Reward your dog’s recognition of his name with lots of praise and play.
WELCOME HOME
As the “parent” of a puppy or new adult dog, it’s important for you to help him get used to his
new surroundings. Think of him more as an infant than a pet: He’ll need plenty of patience,
supervision and love. Here’s how you can help him adjust.
Bring him home when it’s quiet and you don’t have company. Also, choose a time when your
routine is normal.
Show him the area of your yard that will be his bathroom before bringing him inside. Then
take him there whenever he goes outside.
Give your dog his own room where you can keep his crate, complete with bedding and chew
toys (leave the crate’s door open). He’ll feel safe in his “den.” Put down newspaper for
accidents.
Supervise your puppy at all times, and play with him several times a day. You’ll help
establish yourself as the pack leader.
Give him bathroom breaks every few hours and right after eating, drinking, sleeping and
playing (watch for signals like sniffing or circling). Never punish your dog for accidents;
instead, praise him when he goes in his outdoor spot.
GETTING EXERCISE
An appropriate amount of exercise will help promote your new dog’s good behavior and
assist you in training him. Talk with your veterinarian about how much daily exercise your
breed typically needs. Some dogs are just naturally more high-energy, and need more
exercise than others. Schedule family members to exercise your dog throughout the day.
Introducing your puppy to the Children
In the first few months, all interactions between small children and puppies should be
supervised - both for the safety of the children and the puppy. Teach children to be gentle and
quiet when playing with the puppy. Children should understand that the puppy is not a toy,
and they should not tease it, or grab at toys or food, because this could lead to a puppy with
aggressive behavior, or worse, injury to your children.
Children should also be taught the proper way to hold a puppy, with one hand under the
chest and the other supporting the rear end. Picking up puppies by their legs, tail or neck can
cause serious bone or nerve damage to a puppy's tender body.
Your puppy should have a crate, or somewhere it can retreat from children and noise if
necessary.
Finally, it's helpful if older children understand the training commands, or actively participate
in training the puppy. Your new pet will learn to behave faster if it receives consistent
treatment from everyone in your family.
Introducing your puppy to your dog or cat
Although a new puppy is exciting to everyone in the family, make sure to give plenty of
attention to your existing pet. Dogs and cats can feel threatened by the new arrival if they feel
you are overprotective or overindulgent with the puppy.
Once your dog appears to be comfortable with the new puppy, place a leash on your dog and
let the puppy out of the cage. That way, you can control your dog and prevent it from playing
too roughly with the puppy. Again, praise positive behaviors.
Before making direct introductions with your cat, exercise your puppy so it's less
rambunctious. Let it out of the cage in the same room with the cat. If your cat bats at the
puppy a time or two, don't interfere-it's just your cat's way of letting your puppy know who's
boss.
All meetings between your pets should be supervised until you're comfortable that the pets
are amiable toward each other.
For the first few months, you should probably feed your puppy in a separate room from your
dog or cat. This eliminates any fights over food, and it assures that your puppy gets the
nutrition it needs.
Taking your puppy on the road
If you plan on taking your puppy to the in-law's house, or camping by the river, it's important to
accustom it to riding in your car early on. Start by taking it on short trips around the block, and
slowly progress to longer trips.
There are a few things to keep in mind when your puppy is in the
car
- Never leave your puppy unrestrained in the car. For your safety and your puppy's safety, it's
best to keep it in a portable kennel.
- If your puppy salivates excessively or vomits, keep the window open so it can have plenty of
fresh air. Eventually, it should outgrow its carsickness. If it doesn't, talk to your veterinarian
about safe motion-sickness medications.
- Make sure your puppy has an opportunity to relieve itself before you hit the road
- Stop every two hours to let your puppy exercise and relieve itself. Bring a container of fresh
water and a bowl
- Never leave your puppy in a parked car for long periods of time. Make sure you're parked in
the shade, and the windows are slightly ajar.
-Even though dogs love to hang their heads out the car window, it's simply not safe.
If you're planning to take your puppy on an airplane, contact the airline well in advance. They
will inform you of specific travel regulations, including the type of carrier that's appropriate,
and health certificates that are required. If your puppy is the nervous type, consult your
veterinarian about sedation. You should also look into the pet requirements at your
destination. For example, many foreign countries require proof of vaccination and/or
quarantine periods.
