Pick-Up, Meeting & Shipping
We are offering the following five options in getting your puppy home to you.
Personal Pick-Up
We are in southeast Georgia, just outside of Vidalia, in Lyons. Use the following zip code for basic directions if you are looking for directions on your GPS or mapquest: 30436
You are always welcome to visit with us here at the house in town. Please allow 24-48 hr advance notice to schedule a visit to test play our babies. If possible, I will gladly adjust my schedule to make myself available sooner than that.
I will ask respectfully that on the day that you are coming out to visit, that you do not visit pet stores, animal shelters or rescues or any other breeders prior to seeing us, in order to avoid bringing in or exposing us to communicable and for teacup and tiny puppies - deadly! - puppy diseases.

Meeting...
If you are from across the state or from one of our neighboring states, I will consider to drive [free of charge] to meet halfways or up to 80-100 miles oneway, if that helps with the pick-up for out of town/state buyers for pups that are too small to be safely shipped.
Good communications are a must when I drive to meet, and I require a $200 deposit placed on the pup before I leave the house.
I might consider going further to meet part way or deliver to your home if you reimburse me for my gas costs and time on the road, subject to my schedule and your location.

Shipping via Delta Airlines
Shipping is available year round to any major airport in the Continental USA.
In stride with the ever increasing gas prices, the airlines keep increasing the shipping fees as well, the crates and bedding prices continue to climb, and I am further away from the airport now [1.5-2 hrs one way, subject to traffic] - so do ask for the current shipping fees, as they may be subject to change.
Currently [September 2014] shipping from Savannah, GA to anywhere in the Cont. US costs me app. $350 - this includes the actual airline ticket & insurance via Delta, Veterinarian Health Certificate, a new small crate and bedding, plus delivery to the airport.

Delivery to SAV - Our Closest Airport
Please do keep in mind that many teacups and tiny pups will not reach safe shipping time anytime soon in their young lives.
I won't put anything on the plane to fly in cargo by itself that does not at least weigh 1.5-2 lbs - and with the smallest ones that puts them close to 4 months or older. Pls keep that in mind when you contact me to make arrangements to fly a pup out to you.
Most teacups and tinies are ready to go home around 10-11 weeks of age - some may need a bit longer, and there is simply no way that I will hold a pup for an additional 2 months or so until it reaches safe shipping size - pls don't ask! Occasionally I may have an older pup that is available - or you are welcome to make arrangements for yourself to fly into Savannah and take a rental car to come out and visit [4 hr roundtrip], or I can come and meet with you there if you prefer and deliver the pup.
The airport name is Savannah/Hiltonhead International Airport [SAV], and I will gladly do the legwork for you to procure a Veterinarian Health Certicate {$50} for the pup and deliver it to you at the airport {$75 trip/time charge, for a total of $125}. All you will need to bring is a small softsided carrier that fits under your seat and make arrangements for the pup to fly back home with you.
Before you ask me about this, pls do your own research to see if it is financially feasible to do so for you and check your roundtrip ticket prices prior to contacting me.

Own or have Access to a Private Plane???
If you own or have access to a private plane, there is a regional airport [Vidalia, GA] less than 5 minutes from my house.
I have met some of my puppy buyers that flew in there on their own, and can deliver there free of charge - any time, with no restrictions to size or age of the pup, other than that it needs to be fully weaned and ready to go home!
A Veterinarian Health Certificate is optional in this case [$50].

Professional Ground Transport
I am sorry - I do not permit any of my chihuahua puppies to travel with a Professional [or private] Ground Transport Company. The dangers of picking up a cold, a puppy virus or stress related hypoglycemic episodes are simply too large for a pup in this size group.
