TO SHIP WITHIN CANADA
Please understand that our preference is for families to come to us to pick up their puppies.
When that is not an option we will fly puppies to their new homes.
Puppies flying to their new homes do not leave me until 9-10 weeks of age.
If we do ship puppies, they fly out of the Pearson International Airport in Toronto.
Our first choice for flights is AIR CANADA but we can make other arrangements as needed.
I do not drive and I must rely on my husband who works full time or a friend to take me to the
air port to ship a puppy. The airport is 2 hours away and we have terrible winter weather, so
traveling for two hours is not always an easy task. When possible we try for very early
morning, very late evening or weekend flights.
When we ship a puppy all costs are that of the buyer, on top of the puppies original purchase
price, and must be paid in full prior to me leaving my house with the puppy.
At a minimum the buyer must pay for the flight which can be anywhere from $100 to $500
depending on where in Canada you want this puppy flown to and which air line you choose
to use.
We just flew a puppy out to Vancouver and the flight was $250.
We suggest calling the airport and asking what the price will be before contacting us.
Average sized puppies fly out in a "skykennel 200" kennel and the puppies are usually on
average 6 pounds. Flight prices are based in the weight of the puppy and the crate together
so you will need this information.
If you ask me the price I will have to call the airport myself and ask the same questions as
you. Simply find out which airline is available in your area, If your in Canada we will use AIR
CANADA, contact AIR CANADA CARGO at 1- 800 - 387- 4865 and ask about shipping a puppy
from Toronto, Ontario to the airport closest to you. They will give you all the information on
shipping that you need. Puppies staying in Canada do not require any special paper work.
Puppies leaving Canada will require health certificates and if going over seas may have
quarantine requirements and additional vaccines. We need to know what is needed to get
the puppy to your destination.
When we deliver the puppy to the airport, they will weigh the puppy and the crate and we will
pay for the flight at that time. This is why you must pay us in advance. We will know the
estimated amount, and round it up to the nearest $25. If the cost is more than we estimated,
we will cover that cost.
Next you are responsible for an airline approved crate that the puppy can stand up in without
touching the top. We use Sky Kennels http://www.skykennelsupply.com and order an airline
approved crate for each puppy. We suggest by the time the puppy is 7 weeks old, you use a
credit card and purchase the crate online and have it shipped to us. We will provide you with
our mailing address and as long as you let us know when you order it, we will make sure we
are home to receive it from fed Ex. We usually only use the 200 size for puppies. Anything
smaller and you risk the puppy being denied at the cargo bay if the guys working are in a
foul mood. Smaller toy sized puppies would be ok in a 100 size. For puppies older than 16
weeks when they leave, the size of the crate will be dependant on the size of the puppy. The
skykennel 200 is about $105 after shipping. If you purchase the crate on your credit card and
have it sent to us you are only charged what the company charges you. If you require us to
purchase it we will ask for payment upfront in the amount of $125. Different crates would be
different prices.
If the puppy needs any special health certificates from a veterinarian or extra vaccinations
before being admitted to your location, you would also be charged for the extra cost. Find
out on your end what a puppy would need to be allowed off the plane if you are in a different
country and let me know. Then I can talk to my vet and find out the cost. All costs are due
before i leave my house for the airport.
To ship your gift pack and contracts to you will cost us around $50. It is a large heavy box of
goodies. This is added into in the price. We ship this out just after the 7 week eye exam and it
gives you usually 2 weeks to get the paper work filled out and sent back to us.
Then we will charge a travel fee and it will be different for each situation.
Remember I do not drive so I must rely on someone else to get me to and from the airport.
We will factor in the price of gas, and the level of inconvenience of the trip.
If I am going to be near the airport anyway for a dog show, which isn't very often, then we
charge a $100 travel fee.
If I have to get a friend to take me to the airport, then we factor in gas and whether she has to
pull her kids out of school or not. Usually this is a $200-$300 fee which she charges me for
gas, wear and tear on her vehicle and time out of her life and away from her family.
If my husband has to take a day off of work then we charge a days wages plus gas and
inconvenience. Your looking at around $300 - $400 for him to take a day off of work and drive
me to the airport.
Shipping a puppy with me is NOT cheap. I will not hide the price. There are many other
breeders who will ship a puppy for a lot less because it is much easier for them to get to and
from the airport.
If you decide you still want one of our puppies we will ship it but we recommend you budget
$2000 within Canada to cover all of the possible expenses. Usually it is less, but it's better to
be prepared. Outside of Canada the price does increase greatly.
Other options would be for you to fly here yourself and pick up the puppy and take it back
with you as carry on baggage.
Or
If you know other people in your area who would also like a puppy, you can all get a puppy
from the same litter and ship them together and save on the travel costs.
Or
If you have friends or family in the area that would be willing to come and pick up the puppy
for you, we will gladly allow them to deal with flying the puppy and you do not get charged
the travel cost.
If you send in a deposit and then decide you can not follow through on the rest of the
purchase due to costs, the deposit is not refundable, so be certain your willing and able to
go through with the cost of shipping.
If the puppy perishes or is lost while on the flight we do not cover that. We do recommend
insurance to cover that possibility which is more of a cost to you. Once it leaves our hands
we are not responsible for it's safety in the air.
If the puppy makes it to your location and is denied entry to your location for a mistake of
paperwork on your part and needs to be shipped back to us, that would be your cost as well
as the return flight to you. Make sure all paperwork on your end is clear and in order to avoid
this type of problem. We will ask what papers you need from us and we will provide what we
are asked to provide.
If you do want us to ship the puppy (within Canada), you will be responsible for paying for
everything a minimum of 7 days prior to the puppy leaving. We will send you a total cost
breakdown similar to this.
$1725.00
We do not take shipping lightly and we do not hide the cost. So if you really want a puppy
from us and your really serious about the responsibility of shipping then let us know and we
will work with you to match you with the perfect puppy.
Any questions on shipping feel free to ask. We are here to help!

| WE SHIP WORLD WIDE |
Dear USA customers
As of November 2010 shipping dogs into the USA has become more challenging. We
can no longer simply go to the airport and ship the dog for the cost of the flight as we
have done in the past. We now must use a broker. Brokers are **expensive**. I will not
sugar coat the expense. We estimate the cost of the broker to be easily $700-$1200,
plus our travel time to get to the broker in the city, plus a skyline kennel if that is not
included in the brokers fee, plus the flight which averages $300. So your $1000 puppy
more than doubles in cost ending up around $2000-$3000 and possibly even higher. It
is often much cheaper to fly here yourself and pick up the pup and fly it back as check
on baggage if you are getting a puppy.
If you insist we ship your puppy, it is very very expensive now that we have to use a
broker. It was expensive before, but now it has inflated to the point that unless you are
purchasing a breeding animal for a business, or you can drive into Canada to meet us
with the dog, it simply is not worth getting a dog from Canada.
