HI,
the price info was pretty much on track.
It depends alot on the person shipping also.
I have shipped pretty much all over america, to Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

IF your the one shipping, you need to find out the health requirements of the state the pup is going too.

Also, see what the person shipping to you does as a part of the shipping process.

We have a set price, period. Its $150. I prefeer to keep our little ones untill they are 16 weeks old. That way I KNOW all their shots and wormings are as current as possible and their start out into the world is as good as it can be.

When we ship a pup it has:
A health certificut
Rabies Certificut
Complete medical history
In the crate its been sleeping in for weeks so it feels like a safe place.
Crate marked as to destination and return.
Toys from home.
Blanket from home.
EXTRA food to help the diet transition (2-2LB packs of Purina fits right on top well).

We try to keep the pup UP the night beforeand tire him or her out. I also ONLY schedule early morning flights, like 6 or 7 AM, so it will want to nap in the boring plane.

I also make sure the new family knows WHERE to pick up the pup and when.

Thats IF we have to ship cargo. With prior planning and the price of tickets its easier (on me I think) to buy a ticket ahead and arrainge to just accompany the pup. I have gotten to see Utah, LA, NY, Seattle and Chicago that way, plus I still kept the cost to the new family fixed. Its only fair I feel.
Also, I have had the oppertunity to meet in person our new families...since I keep in contact with them for years, it just helps the process.
