Purchasing Information |
Puppy pricing fluctuates to remain in the low to moderate range and reflects a fair current value. A non-refundable deposit is required to reserve a puppy, and is part of total puppy price. PayPal accepted (3% handling fee). PayPal allows credit card payments. Short term Lay-Away is available on puppies under 6 weeks old. All payments (and shipping if applicable) must be paid before puppy ships. All payments are non-refundable. An initial non-refundable deposit is required. All puppies are micro-chipped at no extra cost. |
Shipping & Handling Fees |
While we always recommend that you come and get your puppy personally, there are various modes of transportation available to your puppy. Both ground and air shipping* are available, is not included in puppy pricing, and if arranged by Bear Creek Frenchies at your request, is due before travel reservations are booked.
Prices vary depending on private (door to door, your puppy is the only animal on board) or group rates (multiple animals on board) and distance traveled. You are responsible for arranging for any of these carriers. Health certificate is included. A semi-local, reliable ground carrier is available for $320-$400 (actual cost plus any carrier fee, and is subject to change), this carrier serves most of the southern states, a few north eastern states, as well as most of the eastern coast. Travel can take up to four days, depending on location. I can arrange this carrier for you. They deliver to the following states: FL, GA, AL, MS, TN, KY, SC, NC, VA, OK, Northern TX, NM, AZ, NV, CA, OH, IN, PA, NJ, NY, MA, CT, ME, and NH. In some states coverage is limited, although efforts are made to get within an hour of your location. Personal hand-delivery of your puppy may be available within the state of Missouri, as well as limited locations in KS, AR, & OK. Price (2021) begins at $0.60/mile (round trip) and may fluctuate according to standard reimbursement per mile. If you are located along one of my frequently traveled routes and are flexible about delivery time, this fee (or a small portion of it) might be waived. *As of May 2018, air carriers no longer accept short-nosed breeds in cargo. However a few will allow you to travel with your new pet in the cabin for your fare plus $125, this fee is subject to change by carrier. Check airline for current price and requirements. Sometimes I have clients that find great deals on airline tickets. You are welcome to come and pick up your new puppy! I can meet you at Springfield-Branson National Airport (three hour round-trip on my end) or at Kansas City International Airport (seven hour round-trip), health certificate, collar, and leash are included for puppies traveling by air. You will need to provide a soft-sided carrier that will fit under your chosen airline's seat. |
