Your Guide to
Purchasing a Puppy
We understand the adoption of a new puppy is a daunting task for many.
​
There are volumes of articles, studies and opinions about what the most suitable breed is for the typical family. The abundance of information is overwhelming!
​
It is a difficult process and one that can take years before the decision to purchase a puppy finally takes place.
​
We are here to remove the difficulty from the process.
​
The decision to adopt a puppy is a life changing event for every family and one that is the next closest experience to raising a child.
​
The process of purchasing a puppy should not be akin to the purchase of an everyday commodity!
It is the second most important event in the life of any family! It is the adoption of a family member!
At Puppies Downunder, we guide you through the adoption process to help you select the most suitable breed of puppy for your family.
​
We encourage our customers to share with us their journey with their puppy from the first days at home to the many magical moments created as they grow.
​
After all, it is our puppies which bring families together!
This is our mate Digger.
