Shipping Details
Although I prefer a puppy being picked up rather than being shipped, I understand that the Dalmatian breed is very hard to find and sometimes to have the puppy you are completely satisfied with, it means buying one from several hundred of miles away and the only option is to have him/her shipped.
If I have several puppies going to one general area and all of the buyers are willing to pay $50-$100 each (depending on the number of buyers,) I will be more than happy to meet the buyers in a central location for everyone. This will cause less stress on the puppies, allow me to meet you and vice-versa and also allow you to recieve your puppy at 6 weeks of age verses 8 weeks. I would much rather this than shipping. It is already hard enough on a puppy taking them from their siblings and mom, leaving their current owner, going through the details of getting them ready for shipping, throwing them on a plane, and to top it off, having a complete stranger greet them on their arrival.
If you are interested in shipping and me delivering him/her isn't an option, please contact me with details and I will be more than happy to call the airline and get you a quote. It general costs around $300-$350 for airfare, papers and a crate. To ship, I charge only the amount of the crate to be shipped in, shipping (airline of your choice) and the health certificates and papers needed. Being that I live only 30 minutes from Jackson International Airport, I will be more than happy to have the expenses of delivering the puppy to the airport and etc. on me. After all, you are giving one of my babies a loving home, the least I can do is try to keep your cost of shipping as little as possible. They are already outrageous.
Being that shipping can be added stress on a puppy, It is required that the puppy be at least 8 weeks of age. This will give the puppy ample time to have a stronger immune system, therefore making shipping better on him/her and increasing his/her chances of having a safe and happy flight so he/she can arrive to you in good health and as just the puppy you imagined.
