Are there additional costs to buying the puppy?
One of my least favorite things about raising puppies is shipping. If their is any other way to get a pup to it’s new home, I try and work that way out. I have to date been fortunate, in that all of the pups I have shipped have been transported safely and have arrived without problems. None have suffered any trauma from being shipped. This may not always be the case. There will probably come a time when something goes wrong. I carefully screen the people that are purchasing my pups and take great care to insure that the best home for any particular pup will be found before the pup leaves my home. If the puppy is to be shipped, the purchaser is responsible for the cost of shipping, a crate, a health certificate and any additional expenses involved in transport. To register the puppy with AKC, the cost is $15.
