Transport Services and Fees Options
Devoted Doxies is happy to provide safe, humane transportation to any US destination for your puppy. Should you not be able to come to our location in Belfair, WA to pick your puppy up, we offer several alternatives to assist in bringing you the joy and love of a precious puppy. Of course, pick up at our Belfair, WA location is always available. Should you need transport assistance, please choose from the options below and complete the Transport Contract and submit it with your Sales Contract.
Meet Half Way
If you live up to 4 hours driving distance one way from Belfair, WA, we are happy to meet somewhere in between your location and our location. This is usually at a public place like a fast-food restaurant or shopping center. This will be agreed upon and included in your contract paperwork. We charge the standard travel mileage reimbursement rate of 72.5 cents per mile round trip. We also charge $20.00 per hour round trip. If we can combine your delivery with another family, the rates will be split between the 2 deliveries where those delivery trips overlap.
Meet at the Seattle Airport (SEA)
If you choose to fly into the Seattle Airport (SEA) to pick up your puppy, we are happy to meet you at the airport with your puppy. We charge a fee of $100.00 for this delivery. We typically meet at the curb outside the baggage claim area, but we can also meet at your hotel near the airport if you plan to stay overnight.
Meet at Your Local Airport
If you need us to fly to your local airport, we are happy to do so. We only allow in-cabin escort of puppies to your destination. We do not allow our puppies to be transported in the cargo hold or “pet safe” areas. Our costs include standard coach airfare round trip, puppy airfare one way, a soft airline-approved carrier, and a $200 escort fee. Additional hotel and meal charges may apply if same-day return is not possible.
Home Delivery
If none of the above options meet your needs, we are happy to deliver your puppy directly to your home anywhere in the US. Costs may include airfare round trip, puppy airfare one way, or mileage at 72.5 cents per mile round trip if driving. Additional expenses may include hotel stays, car rental, reasonable meal costs for trips over 5 hours, and a $200 daily rate when applicable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers To Frequently Asked Questions
I am seriously interested in a puppy, what are my next steps?
Fill out our Puppy Application. After filling out our puppy application I will call you so we can have a conversation. Then after being accepted, I will email our Waitlist/Deposit Contract to you. You will sign/date the contract and pay your deposit via Zelle to be placed in order on my list for next puppies.
What is a deposit?
The deposit is the way to reserve a puppy until they are ready to go home with you. It is applied to the purchase price of the puppy. Should you submit a puppy application before I have available puppies, you will be placed on a waitlist in order of the date you paid your deposit. All waitlist applicants have first priority for newly available puppies in order of paid
deposit dates. The balance of the purchase price is paid when you pick up the puppy. The deposit is $500 and is non-refundable.
What will my puppy be eating when it comes home with me?
Your puppy will be eating Purina Pro Plan puppy food for small breeds.
What will I need to get for my puppy before I pick it up?
- Puppy food
- Training treats
- Food and water bowls
- Dog bed, pad or blankets to sleep on
- Puppy pen or crate to sleep in
- Crate or safety seat for your puppy/dog to ride in while in the car
- Variety of toys; soft fabric, tough fabric, balls, toys to climb on, interactive toys, treat toys
- Antlers for chewing and teething on
- Potty pads
- Dog collar/harness and leash
- Dog sweater/coat for cold days outside
- A local Veterinarian and appointments for 1-3 days after pickup and an appointment at 12 weeks for next vaccines
Is my puppy coming home with me already potty trained?
I wish the answer could be yes, however, that is not a realistic expectation of a puppy as young as 9 or 10 weeks old. Potty training should start immediately so you start off with your puppy knowing that you expect they not go just anywhere. I can tell you that they are fairly good at pottying on a potty pad. Placing a potty pad in the same location within close proximity helps them to know where to go when they have the urge and you are not right there to take them outside.
What type of medical care will my puppy receive?
- Appropriate deworming at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 weeks of age.
- First puppy vaccinations (DAPPv) at 6 and 9 weeks of age.
- Intranasal Bordetella immunization at 7 weeks of age.
- Well Puppy Exam by my veterinarian a few days before they go home with you.
Can I pick up or have my puppy transported?
- You may pick up your puppy in person at our home.
- We can meet half way.
- We can meet at the Seattle Airport (SEA)
- We can meet at your local airport
- We can do a home delivery.
Expenses will depend on your location and transport method. More details on our Transport Services and Fees Options Page
Which is better, a male or female puppy?
Neither are better than the other in my opinion. Every puppy/dog has their own personality and temperament, but in general the Miniature Dachshund is a highly loyal and affectionate companion dog that is eager to please and very food oriented.
Which is better, a short hair or long hair Miniature Dachshund?
Neither are better than the other in my opinion. Both coat types shed equally, although long hairs can get mats if they are not properly groomed on a regular basis.
Why are Yorkshire Terriers tails docked?
Typically, Yorkshire Terriers tails are docked to meet the AKC “breed standard” which calls for a docked tail.
Will my puppy develop IVDD?
I cannot predict the future for your puppy. IVDD is possible for all Miniature Dachshunds because of their long backs and short legs. Science has not isolated the specific gene that is the cause for this disorder. There are things you can do to help reduce the risk of your puppy/dog developing back issues like preventing and discouraging jumping onto and off of furniture, climbing up or down stairs, jumping to greet you, standing on their back legs with their front legs off the ground (begging), picking your puppy up by the front of their body and not supporting their hindquarters when lifting or carrying.
