Pickup & Delivery

Bringing Your Puppy Home

Once your puppy is reserved and the balance is paid, the next step is getting your new Great Dane home safely. You can pick up your puppy in person, or we can arrange delivery to you. This page also serves as our shipping policy, so please read it before choosing an option.

Pickup by Appointment

Pickup is free and always scheduled by appointment. Our puppies are raised in our family home, so we plan visits carefully to keep the puppies calm and healthy. Email us to set a day and time that works for you.

What to Bring

• A sturdy crate sized for a growing puppy, secured in your vehicle
• A collar and leash
• Old towels or a blanket, plus paper towels and a few plastic bags
• Water and a small bowl for longer drives

What Happens at Pickup

We will hand over your puppy’s records and go through them with you. That includes the vaccination and deworming record, the vet health check, the 12 month health guarantee, our nutrition manual and care guide, and the AKC registration application paperwork. Your puppy also goes home with play toys.

We set aside time for your questions about feeding, crate training, and the first few nights. Plan on about 30 to 45 minutes.

Delivery Options

If pickup is not practical, we offer two delivery methods. Both keep your puppy with a trusted person for the whole trip.

Ground Pet Transport

A pet transport driver brings your puppy by car or van, usually right to your door or a nearby meeting point. Ground delivery works well for many families within driving range and lets the puppy travel without airport stress.

Flight Nanny

A flight nanny flies with your puppy in the airplane cabin and meets you at the nearest major airport. Your puppy stays with a person the entire flight instead of riding in cargo. This is often the fastest option for families far away.

Delivery Costs

Delivery is not included in the $900 puppy price. The cost is quoted by distance and paid by the buyer. Tell us your city and state and we will send you a quote for each option before you decide.

Delivery Timeline

Delivery is usually arranged within 3 to 7 days after the balance is paid. We confirm the exact date and time with you, and we share contact details for the driver or flight nanny so you can stay in touch on travel day.

Health Certificate

Every puppy travels with a health certificate from a licensed vet. It confirms the puppy is healthy and fit to travel, and it is required by most carriers and many states.

What Travels With Your Puppy

• Health certificate
• Vaccination and deworming record
• Copy of the health guarantee and sales agreement
• Nutrition manual and care guide
• AKC registration application paperwork
• Play toys

Weather and Safety Delays

Your puppy’s safety comes first. Extreme heat, extreme cold, storms, flight cancellations, or a puppy who seems unwell on travel day can delay delivery. If that happens, we will contact you right away and set a new date as soon as it is safe.

Preparing Your Home

Get ready a few days before your puppy arrives.

• Set up a crate in a quiet spot near the family.
• Have large breed puppy food ready, matching what we feed. Our nutrition manual explains it.
• Puppy proof the house. Move cords, shoes, cleaning products, and houseplants out of reach.
• Book a vet exam within 72 hours of arrival. This is required to keep the health guarantee active.

What to Do on Arrival

Take your puppy outside to a quiet potty spot first. Offer a little water, then let it explore one or two rooms instead of the whole house. Keep greetings calm and short, especially with children and other pets.

Send us a quick email to let us know your puppy arrived. We love hearing from our families.

The First 48 Hours

New places can be tiring. Many puppies sleep a lot, eat less than usual, or have a soft stool for a day or two. That is common after travel and a change of home.

• Keep the routine simple: eat, potty, play, nap.
• Feed small meals and avoid sudden food changes.
• Limit visitors until your puppy settles.
• Call your vet if your puppy stops eating, vomits repeatedly, or seems very weak.
