Below are some helpful videos on all of the information you may need to know for ground shipping your sweet little puppy — Giving you the peace of mind! See below for pricing details.
Ground Transportation
A Family Bred Puppies team member drives your puppy directly to your door. Best for buyers within 250 miles of Goshen who want door-to-door delivery without flying. Includes a welcome kit (folder, starter food, puppy toy, blanket with mother’s scent). Below is a video with more information on how Ground Transportation works! This is a great option if you want your puppy delivered to your front door!
Airfare Transportation
Your puppy flies as cargo with a welcome kit included, and you or a designated local contact pick them up at the arrival airport. Best for buyers outside ground-delivery range who don’t need door-to-door service. Below is a video with more information on how Air Transportation works at Family Bred Puppies!
Concierge Service
A staff member personally flies with your puppy and delivers them to you directly, no unaccompanied cargo travel. Includes the welcome kit and 1-on-1 updates throughout the trip. Best for buyers who want maximum peace of mind and are willing to pay for it. Below is a video of more information of our concierge service! Providing even more peace of mind and even more updates of your sweet puppy!
Pick up by Private Plane
Staff meet you and your puppy at Goshen Municipal Airport if you’re flying in yourself. No shipping fee applies since you’re doing the transport. Below is a video of more information on how to pick up by private plane!
We want bringing home your puppy to be as smooth and stress-free as possible. Families are always welcome to pick up their puppy directly from us, but we also provide safe delivery options for those who live farther away. Depending on your location, we can arrange ground transport or a trusted flight nanny service. Each puppy travels with care, comfort, and plenty of attention along the way. Our goal is to make sure your new companion arrives healthy, happy, and ready to meet youl
