Transport options

 

We recommend and invite you to travel to our home and meet us and our doggie family in person. Most people are driving to our home or flying to Springfield airport which is just under 80 miles/1-1/2 hrs from our home.  We are happy to meet you at the airport for a travel fee of $150, as long as the timing works out for both of us.  If driving here, we are happy to help you find lodging.

 

Car rentals are available to/from Springfield airport and might be an affordable option for same day rental. I've seen rates as low as $38 for same day return.  According to the airport website, the following companies service the area:

• Avis

• Budget

• Enterprise

• Dollar Rent a Car

• Hertz

• National/Alamo

• Payless

• Thrifty

 

We offer different transport options and the fee will depend on the method, distance and other factors.  Prices currently start at $300 for ground transport. We offer pick up in Colorado for most litters.  Inquire for availability.

 

If there is a single puppy or only a few puppies to transport, fees will most likely be greater. We might fly them in-cabin by air, personally delivered - not shipped in cargo. The most affordable option is normally for you to fly in and out the same day and have us meet you at the airport (see above for trip charge).  We might be able to transport for you to Colorado for the starting cost of a non-stop round trip airfare out of Springfield airport.  When the puppy is flying, there are a few extra expenses such as: a puppy airline ticket (~$95-125) health certificate, travel bag, etc., as well as our trip charge to Springfield (see above). Keep that in mind as you are pricing the airfare.

​

We are exploring other transport options, as we realize not everyone is able to come to our location. This is a work in progress and we are open to your suggestions.  In addition, we are beginning to work with other people who have been able to transport for us along the I-70 corridor between Missouri and Colorado.  We hope to connect with more of these people to offer more transport options to more locations.  We like to travel and might be able to transport personally to your location, if you want to pay some of our expenses. :)

Let us know where you live and maybe we'll find a transport option for you!

If you are not able to pick up your puppy the week s/he is available, there may be a boarding/training fee (currently $5 per day) through the travel day, in addition to the transport fee.
