Puppy Transportation Options
​
Pick-Up:
At 8 weeks of age, you are always welcome to pick-up your puppy in person at our home in Eagle River. We will schedule a convenient time for pick-up with each buyer a few days from the date the puppies are able to leave us.
​
Delivery to the Anchorage Airpot:
We are happy to meet you at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport if you would like your puppy to fly back in the cabin with you. Note that not all airlines will allow an 8 week old puppy to fly; some require the puppy to be 10 weeks. It is the buyer's responsibility to verify the airlines policies, to book arrangements with the airline for their carry-on puppy, and to supply an airline approved soft carrier. The cost for the puppy health certificate and the delivery to the airport is $150.
The buyer should notify Hiland Doodles at the time of the puppy deposit regarding the plans for the puppy to be delivered the airport. Final delivery payment is due 1 week before the puppy flies.
​
Delivery via ACE Air Cargo:
We provide the option for shipping through Alaska Central Express (ACE) from Anchorage, Alaska. Please review the list of cities ACE flies into, or call 888-722-0232 for other destinations.
We charge the actual cost to ship the puppy (the cost of the kennel and the freight charge), as well as an airport delivery charge ($100) as ACE requires two trips to ship a puppy. Shipping the puppy generally cost $220-$250 through ACE.
The buyer should notify Hiland Doodles at the time of the puppy deposit regarding the plans to ship the puppy. Final shipping payment is due 1 week before the puppy flies.

Delivery via Alaska Airlines Air Cargo:
We provide the option for shipping through Alaska Airlines Air Cargo - Pet Connect from Anchorage, Alaska. Please review the list of cities Alaska Air Cargo flies into for the airport nearest you. While we prefer the puppies fly direct to limit potential delays and connection problems, there is the possiblity Alaska Air Cargo can connect to another airline to get even closer to you. Please contact us and we can do some research for you.
We charge the actual cost to ship the puppy (the cost of the kennel, puppy health certificate, and the freight charge). Shipping the puppy generally cost $300-$500 depending on distance and size of the puppy.
The buyer should notify Hiland Doodles at the time of the puppy deposit regarding the plans to ship the puppy. Final shipping payment is due 1 week before the puppy flies.

We provide the option for delivery through a flight nanny service. The puppy will fly in the cabin with a Flight Nanny to an airport near you. Prices will vary by location and time involved. Pricing for a Flight Nanny usually varies between $650-$900.
The buyer should notify Hiland Doodles at the time of the puppy deposit regarding the plans to use a Flight Nanny. Final Flight Nanny service payment is due 1 week before the puppy flies.
