Shipping Our Puppies

I have had some questions about shipping our puppies instead of the more common 'House pick-up".

We DO ship anywhere in the Continental USA. We do NOT ship to Alaska and Hawaii or any where outside the United States as it demands they (Puppies) be Quarantined.

We ship through Continental Airlines. If you live in the North Eastern United States we then ship Delta.

Shipping costs can vary because of location and airlines. Shipping usually costs $450.00 for 8-week-old puppies. As the puppy grows the price of shipping will increase. The rates depend on kennel size and which airline is used. Sometimes it is necessary to take our puppies to a larger airport in Atlanta, in which case the price would be higher since we are quite a distance from there.

Included in shipping:Pet taxi (yours to keep or sell)

Veterinary Health Certificate

Certificate of Acclamation(above 20 degrees and under 85 degrees)

Small bag of puppy food

Puppy vaccination record

Registration papers if applicable

Travel cost to get pup to airport.

We have a veterinarian exam the puppy only a few days prior to shipping and then the puppy receives a Health Certificate.

We write out the feeding and watering instructions for the airlines. They are required to follow the instructions.

Please be aware that the buyer is responsible for all associated costs in shipping their new puppy. We do not ship C.O.D. All costs are paid in advance.

French Brittany vs American Brittany

Many breeders differentiate between "American" Brittanys and "French" style Brittanys. Although generally recognized as sub-sets of the same breed, there are recognizable differences between the two. The French Brittany appears more "spaniel-like" in that it is smaller and the French Brittany generally works more closely to the guns, but will work according to the local terrain. However, some breeders consider these "differences" to be unsound generalizations and that American standards should be updated to reflect the breed's standard in its country of origin, i.e. France, where black has become an acceptable coat colour since 1956 while it is still considered a fault in America. Originally known as the Brittany Spaniel, the word "spaniel" was dropped in the U.S. some years ago, as the American Brittany Club persuaded the American Kennel Club to discontinue the use of the term "spaniel" for this breed. When translating the Latin version of the Brittany's name, it was assumed that spaniel was attached, as the Brittany does resemble a spaniel-like dog. Spaniels, such as Springers and Cockers, are used for flushing game, while Brittanys are more akin to pointers and all-purpose sporting dogs. Known in the United Kingdom as an HPR breed (Hunt, point, and retrieve), they are expected to point and retrieve all birds and ground game up to and including hare
