Transportation

At Florida Ridgebacks, we understand that bringing your new puppy home is an exciting moment, and we are here to ensure the process is as smooth and seamless as possible. Whether you're local or across the country, we can help arrange transportation to get your Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy safely to your home.

Local Pickup

If you're located near Florida, we welcome you to pick up your puppy in person when they are ready to go home at 8 weeks old. This is a great opportunity to meet us, see our breeding program in action, and spend time with your new puppy before bringing them home.

Air or Ground Transportation

For buyers who are unable to travel to Florida, we offer air and ground transportation options to bring your puppy to you.

  • Air Travel: We work with trusted flight nannies who specialize in safely transporting puppies by air. Your puppy will fly in the cabin with a trained professional who will ensure they are comfortable and well cared for during the journey.

  • Ground Transportation: If you’re closer to our region or prefer a road trip option, we can arrange safe and reliable ground transportation to deliver your puppy to a destination near you.

Please note that transportation services are available at an additional cost, and fees vary based on location and the method of transport. We’ll provide an estimate for transportation fees upon request.

Personal Delivery

In some cases, we offer personal delivery of our puppies, especially to nearby locations or on a case-by-case basis. If you’d prefer to have us deliver your puppy personally, just let us know, and we can discuss availability and pricing.

Safety & Comfort

Our top priority is the safety and comfort of your puppy. Whether by air or ground, we ensure that all transportation arrangements are handled by experienced professionals who understand the needs of young puppies. Your puppy will travel in a safe, comfortable crate.

What You Can Expect

Before departure, we’ll provide you with all necessary documentation, including the health certificate and vaccination records, so you can be confident your puppy is healthy and ready for their journey. We will stay in touch with you throughout the process and provide updates on the status of your puppy's travel.

Additional Information

  • Travel Fees: Transportation costs vary based on distance and mode of transport. We will discuss the details and provide a breakdown of costs before finalizing any arrangements.

  • Airline Requirements: If your puppy is traveling by air, the airline may require certain paperwork, including a pet health certificate, which we will provide.

  • Delivery Options: Ground transportation and nanny services are arranged by trusted partners. If you're interested in a specific form of transport, let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate your preferences.

We want your puppy’s journey home to be as smooth as possible. Whether you’re near or far, rest assured that we will help facilitate safe and comfortable travel for your new family member.
