11. Do you have the patience to go through the
trials and tribulations of puppy hood which can last up to 18 months of age
(please take a minute to read this web page: Problems with a New Puppy) Puppies do not come trained.
You will have to teach them to be content in a cage and
YOU, YES, YOU, WILL HAVE TO TEACH THEM NOT TO NIP AND JUMP ON YOU .
such behaviour is NORMAL for puppy to try.
You are expected to physcially correct, undesired behaviour.
If you are not able to, or do not have the skills to correct an 8 lbs puppy from doing this,
please consider a Toy dog breed, OR plan on what obedience school you will be using.
Dogs doing undesired behaviour is a PEOPLE problem, not a puppy problem.

NEW COVID
Shipping within Canada should $600.00
If you are not able to pick up your puppy
at our home near Niagara Falls
I can "usually" only ship to MAJOR Canadian Airports
I will be shipping using WestJet and "usually" only shipping Tuesdays or Fridays
Because there is limited space and so many people needing pets flown
I may have to ship a bit early and also take what ever time they offer me.
YOU will need to be flexible, for pick up day and times.
USA NEW LOCKDOWNS
USA people will need to pick up your puppy in person:
As of December 2021 USA people that have been double jabbed and have a
clear PCR test within 72 hours of entering Canada, may freely enter Canada.
and return home with their puppy, without issue.

I have had people choose to fly into BUF airport, rent a car and
pick up their puppy at my home and return with puppy, as a flight carry on
all for under $300 booking Frontier Airlines
(www.flyfrontier.com) directly from their website.
Frontier charges $99 to carry the pet in the cabin.
Wait times at the border, have been 10-15 minutes.
So some of my US puppy people have been hiring students
or friends, to do the flight, or drive to my home to pick up puppy
and return for them with puppy as carry on returning home.
