Shipping is costly $500 and up.
Also sometimes you are paying the costs of flying the breeder in and taking care of all expenses as we did when our Chatty was flown in from Germany.
One way they ship also is with a shipper that flies with the dog.
It is a very hard trip on the dogs. Also I saw someone talking about earsets on the foreign dogs, please look at the pups pics closely as a lot of breeders have tied ears up for pics making the dogs earsets appear to be nicer than they actually are. I hate that also a lot of them simply have bigger taller ears.
I know several people who imported and was not happy at all with the ears.
I have placed a very nice male we imported with a friend because the ears were simply not something that would work with the type in my program. I could not tell that from pics. He was very nice otherwise but to me I like a certain type.
And also keep in mind when you send money you are not always protected,
and be very aware of bait and switch.
