NOTE: PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS CONDITIONS CHANGE. BUT ONCE A DEPOSIT IS ON THE WAY TO HOLD A SPECIFIC PUP, THAT PRICE WILL NOT CHANGE. We can safely air ship pups in the US, around $250, to Canada around $300. Ocassionally a flight problem or increase in shipping cost may require buyer to pay a bit more at the last moment. We do not ship cargo if we can help it, we normally ship Priority Parcel. If you live close to St Louis or Chicago, we can often send a puppy very close to you via courier service for $150 or less. We also offer to ship pups via professional pet ground transport (www.puppyexpressdelivery.com), or we try to delivery personally or meet part way whenever possible. When we ship a pup, it's because the buyer wants their pup shipped. Buyer assumes all risk to pup once pup leaves our hands. Airlines and pet transports insure all pups against accidents but not exposure to disease. We encourage prospective buyers to come visit our home if at all possible. Visitors are allowed free access to our dogs & puppies so they can handle them and see their health, quality, & personality for themselves. Puppies are raised in the house, the nursery is a huge converted walk in closet off the master bedroom. Pups are started on their papertraining prior to going to their new homes, housebreaking is the buyer's responsibility. Our charges to meet part way or full delivery: 2 hours one way: $50. 4 hours one way: $100. Ask for rate quote if you're any farther away then that (NOTE, if we meet several buyers at the same time, we split the expenses between buyers which brings the cost down significantly). We meet people when we can. If we're not able to accommodate the buyer's schedule, the buyer has to pay to have pup shipped or pick it up here. So you've decided you want one of our pups? You've called or emailed me to talk everything over with me, asked me to hold a pup until you can get a deposit to me, and want to know what to do next? (1) Read this page THOROUGHLY, then EMAIL your name, address, home & emergency phone numbers, as well as a statement saying you have read & agreed to all terms on my site as of the day of the email. Also include your 1st & 2nd choice of airports if your pup must be shipped. At this point, I'll start holding your puppy. (2) A non-refundable deposit of $250 will hold a very young pup (deposit goes toward purchase price). (3) If deposit sent by check, send payment in a trackable method and email me the tracking number within 1 business day after commitment to buy, unless we've mutually agreed otherwise. DON'T SEND ANY PAYMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE CALLED ME TO TALK ABOUT PAYMENT FORMS ACCEPTED DEPENDING UPON THE SITUATION! NOTE: ANY FORM OF PAYMENT OTHER THEN PAYPAL, CASH OR BANK TO BANK WIRE TRANSFER WILL MEAN THAT I CANNOT SHIP PUPPY UNTIL FUNDS HAVE CLEARED (TWO WEEKS). (4) Final payment BY WIRE OR PAYPAL due here at least 5 business days prior to shipping. When picking up or meeting in person we accept ONLY cash! If failure to pay on time in the correct manner causes me to have to reschedule shipping arrangements at the last moment, buyer may have to pay for another vet check and health certificate & will incur boarding fees, or buyer will lose their deposit & pup will be resold. NOTE: If (through no fault of mine) the buyer can't get their puppy when it's ready to go, buyer may incur $25 per week boarding fees. Barring any health problems; Westie pups are ready to go at 9-10 weeks, Papillons are ready at 10-12 weeks. After that age, boarding fees incur. But buyer will be informed well in advance so that they won't have any unforeseen expenses. This rule does not apply to older puppies that haven't sold yet. When picking up your pup in person bring only cash. IF YOU SHOW UP WITH ANY FORM OF CHECK, YOU'LL BE SENT TO THE LOCAL ATM FOR CASH BEFORE I WILL LET THE PUPPY GO. REMEMBER: Your deposit is a legal & binding contract & states you agree with the terms set forth on this site, so READ IT ALL THOROUGHLY! Always remember to add $10 for the microchip fee. Every pup is microchipped prior to leaving our premises (no exceptions). The buyer is paying only for the chip. It's the buyer's responsibility to pay to register the microchip in their name later.
