BIJOU STANDARD POODLES
"Shipping Information"
Is Shipping hard on the pups?
Our pups have been prepared for travelling
since they were 5 weeks of age, by travelling in a crate to my family
and friend's homes or to the Vet 2 hours away.
Our pups think that travelling means going somewhere to be played with and cuddled.
Our pups are very happy to reach their destination to play
and think the plane is just one large bumpy car ride.
We only trust Live Animal Cargo for quality care.
Our puppies will be Vet checked and sent with an INTERNATIONAL Health Certificate
stating that our Vet has seen the puppy within 10 days of being shipped and found in excellent health,
weight to be expected, patella and hips in good placement, ears and eyes clear and that puppy is free of parasites.
Puppies will be bathed and sent clean and happy.
Your Registration papers, Owner's manual and other information in our package
will be in the bottom of the kennel in a plastic tapped bag
Collar and leash will also be in the bag if not in a top compartment.
All shipping documentation will be held by Air Canada Cargo People

Shipping information changes so feel free to have us double check for you.
We can ONLY go by the information our booking agents give us.
Even if you call your cargo and they say that we "can" ship to you, this is not always the case
because of connections and rerouting and of course what time custom's closes and new IATA regulations.
In the event that you have a deposit on a puppy and we are
unable to ship to you due to airports closing Live Cargo service to the "agreed upon" airport at time you put a deposit down,
we will return your payment to you including deposit or
you can choose a different airport to ship the puppy to.
Puppy will weigh approx. 5kg
Puppy will arrive in a Sky Kennel #200 (or simular brand) 27"x20"x19"H. Crate Weighs: 1.5 Lb
that is yours to keep, as you paid for this in your shipping cost.
We will ship by air to any major airport in Canada, USA and the World that "Cargo" flies into,
because we believe everyone deserves a beautiful loving Poodle no matter where they live.
We have shipped to Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Europe and all over the USA with only positive results.
Shipping Internationally is very time consuming process and could cost up to $1,500.00.
We handle all the shipping arrangements and all you have to do is pick up your pup at the airport.
Once we book your puppy's flight you can track it and confirm it online here: Tracking
and then you can confirm flights by clicking here Flights
YOU SHOULD ALSO REGISTER for *change of flight plans notification using the last 4 digits of your flight number
they will notify you by email or smart phone immediatly if your puppy is going to be late
We have been shipping world wide since 1999
and have the experience to make your purchase as worry free as we can.
Cost of shipping is $250.00 within North America and will be added to the cost of your puppy.
Shipping price and includes airline approved crate, veterinarian medical,
International Health Certificate, health record, air fare, any transportation charges and all applicable Canadian taxes.
Any U.S. state and/or border taxes and custom duties will be the responsibility
of purchaser when they pick up their puppy at their destination.
All necessary documentation will be included with puppy for custom purposes
should you decide to pick puppy up in person or have puppy shipped to you,
you will be provided with every document you will need to show.
Most of our puppy people are from the USA and if driving, do declare
to the customs that they have purchased a puppy upon their return to the USA.
No one has had a problem returning with their puppy.
You are required to show vaccination record. "IF" puppy is over 4 months of age
you will be required to have a 30 day old rabies vaccination. We provide you with that record.
Our puppies are cared for very well by the airlines "live animal" personnel
and arrive safely, in good health and ready for their new life.
Shipping in the winter months as well as the very hot months
is taken into consideration for the welfare of the puppy,
so some restrictions may apply depending on the month.
At 5-6 weeks of age puppy goes to see our Vet to receive an International Health Certificate (clean bill of health).
Should our Vet discover any health problems preventing puppy
from being enjoyed as a pet, you will get a full refund.
One problem that could arise in male puppys, could be an undecended testicle.
Should puppy have an undecended testicle, Bijou Poodles will have the puppy neutered that day
at our Vet and Bijou Poodles will pay for the surgery, prior to puppy going home as a curtesy
because we know that this will cause added expense when puppy goes to be neutered later in life.
You will need to let us know if this is "not" an option you would choose when you put your deposit down.
We have also been asked about doing early spay and neuters, because "other" breeders are doing this and paying for it.
So we have done our research and as a result of our findings, are willing to pay for the proceedure to be done at our Vet.
Click here to read more about "Pediatric Spay/Neuter" option.
Now would also be a GREAT time to review videos and information about raising a puppy located on our Obedience web page.
11. At 6 weeks of age "WE" will arrange ALL shipping and send you the booking information (waybill number) and a web page for tracking.
Shipping is $250.00 (in North America subject to change) and includes an International Health Certificate, Up to date Vaccination and deworming and Cage that you keep
For more information please read our Shipping - Is shipping hard on the pups?
After we book the shipping we will send you the information which you can track here Air Canada Cargo Tracking as well as the flight information to verify by clicking on Air Canada Flight Schedule you should also register for *change of flight plans notification
so that you will be notified automatically if flights are delayed or cancelled.
12. The day of shipping you will go to the airport with ID and waybill number and pick up your puppy.
You will need to go to the "CARGO" area listed on their web page Cargo
They will either hand you puppy or hand you paper work to clear with customs and then you return to pick up puppy.
It takes 30-60 minutes for airlines to unload the puppy so do not worry about being exactly on time to pick puppy up.
When you go to the airport you may wish to bring garbage bag, clean newspapers or blanket, lysol or baby wipes, bottled water.
This is in the event that puppy messed in the cage you can do a quick tidy and offer puppy some water.
You keep the cage (size 20"W X 27"D X 19"H) is the cage size you need for Puppy's first day
and the size that puppy will be shipped to you in and as was included in your shipping fee.
You will find a collar and leash either underneath the puppy or in the top compartments of the cage.
13. If you are picking your puppy up at our home, you will need a cage (size 20"W X 27"D X 19"H) or lap, to transport puppy home.
Puppy comes with every document and things you need to cross the border and to keep puppy comfortable.
See our Puppy Package - what does a Puppy come with? for more information.
14. Puppy arrives with a "starter" collar and the yellow microchip ID tag on it. The collar was first put on the morning of shipping
WE do not put collars on our pups before this time, as it is dangerous. Other pups will chew it off and hurt each other with swallowing
or strangling the puppy wearing the collar.
When puppy is first put outside, you may see puppy scratching at the collar (he does NOT have fleas) but is irritated by the new sensation around his neck.
If you wish to test if scratching is just due to the collar ...just take off the collar and you will see scratching stop.
Puppy is NOT leash trained so if you try to walk puppy on a leash, you will have a bucking bronko.
The leash and collar are JUST provided to give you some control over puppy while you allow them to pee on a grassy area
after picking them up from the airport....you would not believe how fast a puppy can run when you least expect it !!
Make sure to toilet puppy as soon as you can. Even if cage is dirty they will still have to go as they will hold it
as long as they possibly can. These are clean puppies and they will be very upset if they have messed in their cage.
15. Puppy will be hungry when you get home. TO avoid stomach upset you may wish add warm water to the kibble until it
is soft and ~then~ offer it to puppy. This will also be like comfort food to a new puppy.
