Please note that we will likely not fly puppies (to an airport near you for pick up) this year.

Options if you live far away:

1. Fly to the Midwest to pick up your puppy. You can fly to Omaha, Des Moines, or Kansas City, and take your puppy back home on the plane with you as carry on. This usually requires you to rent a car (or UBER) and drive about 2 hours each direction to our farm and back to the airport. It is urgent that you not make a flight reservation that requires us to meet you at the airport without our approval. We can have other appointments and on-farm emergencies at the last minute that prevents us from making that trip.
   
   Alternative:  Some families fly to one of those airports and then drive home in a rented car, which is often cheaper than driving a personal vehicle both directions!

2. Over-Land professional Transport.
   We don't allow this with any company that will be transporting puppies in a trailer, and possibly wouldn't allow it if they have more than one puppy/dog at a time in their vehicle. This is because the risk for germs (some deadly) is too high.
   
   We have now had several travel with Door To Door Pet Delivery LLC from Iowa to both coasts ($1000-1500 in 2021/2022 for price idea)
   We also know people that have been very happy with Delifurry Pet Transport. I would not recommend the "Economic Transport" option, and might even refuse it unless transport time is only one or two days to your destination.
   
   With this type of transport, there is still a risk of germ transmission within their vehicle, as it's impossible for them to completely disinfect their vehicle. But it seems much better than shipping puppies via air cargo.

3. Hire a Puppy Nanny to travel here...Maybe. We don't have a specific puppy nanny or company to refer you to, but you can ask friends or Google to find one. Again, we run into the problem that our schedule often doesn't permit us to drive to the airport to meet people, and most puppy nannies do expect that.

4. Fly the puppy alone to a major airport near you, 2014 UPDATE: No longer an option. :-(
   
   Please note that we will likely not fly puppies (to an airport near you for pick up) this year. It's just too difficult to guarantee that we can leave the farm to make airport trips when flights are scheduled.
