Nannies may charge an additional $50-150 depending on airline fees for carry-on/in-cabin pets.

The buyer is responsible for paying the full balance including the flight nanny fees 24hrs prior to the scheduled flight date. It is important to note that flight nannies fly stand-by, which means the time and date for your puppy to arrive needs to be flexible. Dates and/or times may change unexpectedly . Shipping may be more.

Shipping to Rabies-Free Countries and Hawaii 

We will gladly ship a dog to a rabies-free country (including Hawaii). For dogs being sent to Hawaii: the dog must be quarantined at the HON holding facility or at an approved holding facility in HI. We will not hold the dog at our home. It is best to go through the process in HI where you can visit your puppy and build a bond with it than leave it with the breeder for 6 months. In most cases, the holding time in HI is significantly shorter (2-3 mths) than the holding time required to send the dog to HI from the mainland US (4-6 mths). We know this from experience. 

Shipping dogs to other rabies free countries is a case by case basis. There will be an additional holding/housing fee plus additional fees for vetting, training, cleaning, care and all other incurred expenses before shipping is calculated. The holding fee begins at $3000. Shipping international starts at $2500, but may be more. These expenses are in addition to the purchase price of the dog.
The price total could look like this, but may be more;
Holding fee: $3000
Shipping fee: $2500
Purchase Price: $3000
Total: $8500
