We only ship our puppies with pet-friendly, major airlines that have many years of experience with shipping animals and have strict safety regulations, The airplanes have a separate, temperature-controlled room for live animals. This is very safe and most puppies sleep through the flight. In most cases, the puppy stays overnight in one of the airline’s cities in the USA, where he/she is provided with food and water before continuing to the final destination.
17. Will my puppy come with a pedigree?
Yes. Our puppies usually come with a pedigree. On a rare occasion when a puppy does not have a pedigree this will be stated in the puppy’s individual Breeders Notes.
18. What training will the puppy be given and will it require more after it arrives?
We are happy to see that you are thinking about training as it is very important. Puppies are not in general trained before departure, it is up to the breeder what training they choose to give the puppy.
However, if you wish for specific training this can be arranged for an additional fee.
All puppies require proper training from their owner after arrival. If you don’t want to hire a dog trainer, there are several resources that can be found on the internet to help you
19. What is the best diet for my dog?
We recommend at first feeding your puppy the same food that the breeder gave. You can gradually try a different food brand that is available in your location. We always recommend super-premium or holistic (grain-free) dry brands. Good choices are, just to mention a few: Royal Canin, Natures Variety, Taste of the Wild. We recommend feeding your puppy 4 times a day until 3 months of age, then 3 times a day until 6 months. From then on you can feed your puppy twice a day, and depending on your choice feed the dog 1 or 2 times a day from 1 year old.
20. What kind of environment should I create for my puppy?
This depends on several factors such as the dog breed itself, the circumstances where you live. What really is important is to leave space for the dog, let it have his or her own corner where no one should intrude, where HE/SHE can feel safe and by itself. But make sure breakables and any safety hazards such as electric cables are out of reach. Having plenty of dog toys too is a good idea.
21. If I am eligible for another puppy under the guarantee do I have to pay the shipping costs?
Yes, normally you would cover the cost, but we also offer fantastic Shipping Protection on top of our guarantee. If you have purchased this protection and your dog sadly passes away within the guaranteed time, then we would cover 100% of the shipping costs for your new puppy, up to the price of the original shipping.
