We feel it is always best to have the new parents come to our ranch or the airport
nearest us (Spokane international) to
personally pick-up or fly their little one
home
but, we realize at times, this is not feasible. Shipping a Westie puppy via
the most direct air flight is the only other way. If the flight is direct, after a plane
change in Seattle, and of duration of three hours or less, any schedualed flight
is
"ok". During cold months, it is best to use a mid day flight when temperatures
are at their
warmest, if possible. It is totally to the purchaser's
account to make
all the flight arrangements and be absolutely positive to be at the receiving air
terminal well in advance of the puppy's arrival.
We strongly recommend shipping via Alaska Air Freight. Their "AIR FREIGHT"
planes have a totally climate controlled compartment set up specifically for pets.
This is the best
and safest way to fly your new family member. The crates are
securely held in place to be sure your
Westie puppy isn't bounced around during
take-offs, rough weather or landings. At this time, we
know of no other airline
that has these totally climate controlled compartments. ALASKA AIR CARGO
SHIPPING
IS THE BEST. WE HAVE SHIPPED NEARLY ALL OUR PUPPIES
THROUGH ALASKA WITH FANTASTIC RESULTS. OUR PREVIOUS
CUSTOMERS CAN ATTEST TO HOW WELL THEIR LITTLE ONES
"MADE THE TRIP", EVEN ALL THE WAY FROM
SPOKANE, WASHINGTON
TO PLYMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS, WHICH NECESSITATED A PLANE CHANGE
AND SOME SEVEN HOURS OF
LAY-OVERS WHILE IN TRANSIT.

From the time the puppy is placed into the hands of the air carriers personal,
we, (La Terra
Dios Ranch/Morales) are relieved of any and all responsibilities
concerning his/her safety. The responsibility
for safety shall then shift
completely to the purchaser of the puppy and the air carrier.
We will securely crate your Westie puppy, be sure he has the needed water/food
for his/her journey,
deliver him/her to the proper air shipper, at the proper time
and phone you as soon as your "little one" is
safely on his/her way.
For your protection, upon our delivering your puppy to the air freight personal,
we will inform them of the actual value of you puppy so you will have recourse
should the need arise. This
is in ieu of insurance on your puppy. It serves the
same purpose.
Our charges for shipping shall
be: $190.00. This covers the cost of purchasing
one crate and food/water dish that one puppy needs to
make the journey,
a mandatory health certificate from our vet. (for one puppy/dog), our transporting
your West
Highland White Terrier puppy to the air terminal and our return home.
This can be 7
1/2 - 10 hour round trip. To help create a more relaxed situation for your
puppy, I drive to the
airport area and stay at a motel that evening. The next
morning/day I deliver your puppy to the
air carrier as near to his/her departure
time as allowable. This way your puppy is fresh, relaxed
and as calm as possible for
his/her flight. Much less stress. I stay with your puppy, at the air freight
office,
until he/she is loaded on the plane.
If your situation calls for the shipment of more than one puppy, on the same flight,
the same day,
the additional costs for that second puppy would be: One extra crate
and dish $40.00, a second health
certificate $55.00 = $95.00. Each puppy must be
shipped in it's own crate for safety.
. This
statement must be printed out, signed and mailed (PRIORITY MAIL, U.S.
POSTAL SERVICE) to us at least 15 days prior
to the shipping of any puppy/dog.
I agree completely to the terms set forth above.
I have
enclosed the balance due for my puppy, and if shipping, an additional $190.00
as
stated above.
