The right German Shepherd puppy isn't always in your state. If there isn't a breeder near you producing the kind of dog you want, working with a breeder in another state is often the better choice, as long as the transport is handled right.

Haus-Neufus is in Johnstown, Ohio, near Columbus, and we place puppies with families throughout the continental United States. Here's how it works.

How Haus-Neufus Puppy Transport Works

  1. Apply and reserve. Complete our application, have a phone consultation and place your $1,000 deposit.

  2. Pay the balance by 8 weeks.

  3. We handle the paperwork. We take care of the required travel paperwork and health certificate.

  4. We bring your puppy to the airport. Puppies travel through a transport company at the Columbus airport, and we personally bring your puppy there.

  5. You pick up at your airport.

What Does It Cost?

Flying a puppy typically costs about $550 to $800, which generally includes the travel crate and the health certificate. Costs vary, so contact us for current information.
