Out-of-State Buyer Logistics
Fly-In or Drive-In Puppy Pickup Information
Bringing home an Alaskan Klee Kai is an unforgettable experience and many of our families travel from all across the United States to meet their puppy for the very first time.
If you are an out-of-state buyer, this page will guide you through exactly how pickup works, what to expect, and how to prepare for a smooth travel experience.
APPLY FOR PUPPYImportant: We Do NOT Ship Puppies
At Kika’s Klee Kai, we do not offer shipping under any circumstance. All puppies must be picked up in person through one of the following options:
✈️ Fly into Southern California
🚗 Drive in for pickup
This ensures every puppy transitions safely, calmly, and directly into their new family’s care.

The Journey Home Matters
Whether flying or driving, this is your puppy’s very first life transition.
We strongly recommend:
- Keeping the environment calm and quiet
- Avoiding unnecessary handling or stimulation
- Using a crate or secure carrier at all times
- Planning for breaks during long travel
- Prioritizing safety and comfort over speed
A smooth journey home builds confidence and trust from day one.
