Shipping Golden Retriever puppies generally involves a few key factors to ensure the puppy's safety and well-being. Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old for domestic travel and 6 months old for international travel
Key Considerations for Shipping:
Age: Puppies must meet the minimum age requirements for the type of travel (domestic or international).
Health and Vaccination Records:
Ensure all records are up-to-date and readily available.
Identification:
Proper identification tags and consideration of microchips or GPS tracking devices are recommended for safety.
Shipping Method:
Airline travel is generally considered safer and more comfortable than ground shipping over long distances.
Transportation:
Ensure the puppy is kept in a secure, climate-controlled environment during transit.
USDA Regulations:
The USDA requires the seller, buyer, and puppy to be physically in the same location at some point before shipping.
Puppy Nannies:
Some breeders offer puppy nannies who can ensure the puppy travels safely and comfortably.
Breeder-Specific Policies:
Each breeder may have its own shipping policies, so it's important to inquire about their specific procedures.
Cost:
Shipping/delivery costs may vary and are typically an additional charge.
Health and Vaccination Records:
Have all health and vaccination records up to date and easily accessible, as they may be required for transportation.
