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.

Important: 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.

Why We Require In-Person Pickup

Our puppies, Alaskan Klee Kai, are highly intelligent, sensitive, and deeply social dogs.

In-person pickup allows us to:

  • Walk you through feeding, crate training, and routine setup
  • Personally answer all your questions before you leave
  • Support your puppy’s emotional adjustment on Day 1

This first moment together matters and we want it done right.
