You've decided you would like an OakTree Westie but just don't know how to go about
getting a puppy from Northwestern Wisconsin to your home. What are the alternatives.
The first alternative is to drive to pick up your new West Highland White Terrier in
person at OakTree. This is a good choice as Westies ride well and it is the only choice if
you are within a long day's drive of Sarona. You'll want to bring a small crate with you
and soft material for the puppy to curl up in. Both a water and food dish are needed as
well as a container for the water.

Picking up "Tru" at OakTree!
The second alternative is to fly to Minneapolis/St. Paul, rent a car and drive to
Sarona (about 2-1/2 hours), pickup your puppy, return to Minneapolis and carry-on your
Westie puppy in a Sherpa bag where he or she will ride under your seat on the trip home.
From those that have chosen this alternative, all have reported good experiences. You will
need to be sure your airline accepts puppies in cabin (most all do, some require a nominal
fee). If you choose this method of transport, make sure to let me know in advance as I
will be conditioning your puppy to a Sherpa bag in advance of the day of pickup to insure
a Westie puppy that more than likely sleep on the plane.
The third alternative is to ship the puppy Air Cargo (in the heated cargo section of
the plane).
