If you’re wondering how to buy an Australian Shepherd puppy in the UK, we’ve made the entire process straightforward, transparent, and stress-free. Our goal is to give families complete peace of mind from the moment they enquire to the day their new puppy arrives home.

Below, we’ve outlined each step of the process so you know exactly what to expect.

Step 1: Browse Puppies

The first step is to explore our Australian Shepherd puppies for sale page to find the perfect match for your family. Each listing includes essential details such as the puppy’s age, gender, personality traits, vaccination status, and whether they’re ready for collection or still growing.

We regularly update this page with new litters, including Mini Australian Shepherds, Blue Merle varieties, and standard Aussies, so you can choose a companion that suits your lifestyle and preferences. You can also learn more about the breed’s temperament and care in our Australian Shepherd Breed Guide.

Step 2: Reservation

Once you’ve chosen your puppy, the next step is to reserve your puppy with a £500 refundable deposit. This deposit ensures your chosen puppy is secured exclusively for you while we prepare the necessary paperwork and arrangements.

The reservation fee is fully refundable if, for any reason, circumstances change on our end. This provides peace of mind while giving us time to make proper arrangements for delivery or collection.

Step 3: Sales Agreement

After your reservation is confirmed, we issue a clear, legally binding Sales Agreement. This contract protects both you and us, setting out all terms regarding the puppy’s health, ownership, payment, and collection or delivery details.

We believe in being fully transparent—no hidden clauses, vague conditions, or unexpected costs. Everything is explained clearly before you sign. You can also view guidance on responsible puppy sales through GOV.UK’s pet buying advice.

Step 4: Regular Puppy Updates

From the time of reservation until your puppy goes home, we keep you involved every step of the way. You’ll receive regular pictures and videos, so you can watch your puppy grow and develop their personality.

This not only builds excitement but also gives you reassurance that your puppy is thriving in a safe, healthy environment. All puppies are microchipped and registered with Petlog before they leave for their new homes.

Step 5: Collection or Delivery

When your puppy is ready, you can either collect them in person from West Yorkshire or choose fully insured delivery across the UK and Ireland. We work with trusted, licensed pet couriers who follow DEFRA animal transport regulations to ensure safe, comfortable travel.

You’ll receive tracking details so you know exactly when your new companion will arrive. Many families choose delivery for convenience, but we’re equally happy to welcome you for collection if you prefer to meet us in person.
