The cost of shipping itself  varies depending on which airline, where the puppy is going and the size of the crate. We will let you know the exact price a few days before shipping.

We will ship your puppy via Continental Airlines, when we know the conditions are safe due to weather conditions in other States. There are strict weather controls for some areas where puppies need to be shipped. The temperature will sometimes delay a flight a few days. Sometimes it is possible to put a puppy on a very early flight or a very late flight.

Gold Leaf Schnauzer House will take care of everything; book the flight, drive to the airport, call and give you all the information ahead of time.

If you need a puppy shipped via Continental Airlines we will need information from you for us to be able to book the puppy's flight. We will need the name, address, and phone number of the person who will be picking the puppy up at the airport, the name of the nearest major airport that is closest to you.

Once we have this information from you we will call and get the flight information for you. We will be able to book the flight three days prior to shipping.  Then when we have the flight booked we will reconfirm the flight information with you  and give you the confirmation number, flight number, and time of arrival. We will also let you know where to pick the puppy up at the airport. The puppy will be available for pick up within 30 minutes to an hour of landing.

You will need to bring your confirmation number with you, and be required to show a photo I.D. when you pick the puppy up at the airport.
