Getting your German Shepherd puppy to Charleston
From the breeder's arms to yours
Your German Shepherd can come home to Charleston five ways, and your Travel Concierge plans the trip with you.
Meet your breeder and your puppy at a public place near them, a date and spot your Travel Concierge sets up with both of you.
Your breeder (or their nanny) brings the puppy to a nearby public spot, typically their closest airport, police or fire station.
An approved ground partner drives your puppy to the address nearest you in a climate-controlled cabin.
Airlines fly puppies in cargo only when it's between 45°F and 85°F at every airport on the route; in Charleston the normal high tops 85°F on about 72 days a year, almost all of them in July and August, so a summer flight sometimes waits for a cooler day.
A flight nanny, usually an off-duty flight attendant, carries your puppy in the cabin from the breeder's arms to yours, same day.
- 1You reserve your German Shepherd and choose how it travels.
- 2The breeder's vet examines your puppy 3 to 5 days before it leaves; the health certificate and the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, required by law for interstate travel, are included.
- 3Most puppies are home in one to three weeks, and your own vet sees yours within 72 hours of arrival.
