Delivery & Collection Options

At Australian Shepherds Home, we make it easy and stress-free to welcome your new Australian Shepherd puppy, no matter where you are. Whether you prefer to collect your puppy in person, meet halfway, or arrange for safe, insured transport, our process is designed to prioritise transparency, comfort, and your puppy’s wellbeing.

Nationwide Delivery

We offer reliable delivery across the UK and Ireland, ensuring your puppy arrives safely and comfortably.
All deliveries are handled by professional, insured pet couriers who specialise in transporting young animals in line with DEFRA’s animal transport guidelines.

When you choose delivery, you’ll receive:

  • Full tracking information from departure to arrival

  • Real-time ETA updates for peace of mind on travel day

  • Comfortable, climate-controlled crates for secure, stress-free transport

This option is ideal for families who live further away or prefer the convenience of having their puppy brought straight to their door. You can also review our FAQ on delivery and travel for more details.

Halfway Meet Option

For families who prefer a more personal handover without travelling the full distance, we also offer halfway meet-ups.
We’ll arrange a mutually convenient meeting point between our location and yours, ensuring your puppy’s journey remains safe and comfortable.

  • Pricing for halfway meets is based on distance and location.

  • All handovers follow the same safety and documentation procedures as delivery or personal collection.

  • This option is popular with families who want to avoid long drives while still meeting face-to-face.

Personal Collection

Families are always welcome to collect their puppy in person from our base in West Yorkshire.
Collection is by appointment only, allowing us to prepare for your visit and make the experience smooth and personal.

To secure a collection slot, we require a £500 refundable deposit before appointments are scheduled. This deposit is fully returned or applied toward your puppy’s balance at handover. It ensures that each appointment is held exclusively for you, prevents last-minute no-shows, and allows us to prepare your puppy’s travel pack and paperwork in advance.

Many families choose this option to meet us directly, see the puppy’s environment, and make the handover a special moment. You can book a collection appointment once your reservation is confirmed.

Transparent Communication

From the moment your puppy leaves our care until they arrive in yours, we keep you fully informed every step of the way.
Whether you’re collecting in person, meeting halfway, or arranging delivery, you’ll receive clear updates, travel details, and support throughout the process.
We also follow the GOV.UK pet travel regulations to ensure full compliance for UK and Ireland journeys.

Our Priority: Safety & Comfort

Your puppy’s safety, comfort, and well-being during travel are our top priorities.
We only work with trusted couriers, follow strict travel protocols, and ensure every handover is handled with care and professionalism. All puppies are microchipped and registered with Petlog before travel.
