Dogz Online has been helping families find their perfect companion from responsible, registered dog breeders since 1998. We make the process simpler, safer, and more supportive by connecting families with a verified network of breeders across Australia and New Zealand.
For breeders, exhibitors, and the purebred dog community, we provide a platform and community that showcases their program and dogs, helps them stand out, and offers powerful tools and resources to find quality homes for their pups.
Whether you're exploring dog shows, sports, or simply searching for a puppy, we are a trusted, central hub to help you connect with reputable breeders and a supportive community.
We encourage you to learn more about our mission, and why we started.
Yes, Dogz Online connects you directly with verified breeders so you can ask questions, learn more about their program, and ensure the right fit for your family.
If you're interested in a puppy or older dog, simply submit an enquiry with a short introduction about yourself and what you’re looking for. Your breeder will then guide you through the next steps at a pace that feels right for both of you.
Yes. Many reputable breeders work with interstate families and can help arrange safe transport or meet-halfway options.
You can filter breeder listings on Dogz Online to see who offers interstate arrangements. Expanding your search beyond your local area can give you more choice and help you connect with the right breeder, even if they’re not nearby. Your breeder will guide you through the process and ensure everything is arranged safely and smoothly.
After you submit an application or send a message, your breeder may follow up with a few questions to learn more about you and your home to see if you are a right fit. You are also welcome to ask more questions to your breeder about them, their practices, and more so you feel comfortable too.
If you both decide it's a good fit, from there, you’ll continue communicating directly while they guide you through the next steps, including selecting the right puppy, discussing payment, and planning pick-up day.
Not all breeders require a deposit, but it's a common way to reserve your puppy and confirm commitment. Deposits help breeders plan ahead and manage upcoming litters. Always review your breeder's deposit policy (i.e. refundable v nonrefundable deposits) carefully and ask questions so you feel confident before proceeding.
Deposit policies vary between breeders. Some deposits may be refundable, while others may not. It's important to clarify the terms with your breeder before placing a deposit so everyone is clear and comfortable with the next steps.
Payments made through Dogz Pay, our secure payment system, are processed within the Dogz Online community to help protect both buyers and breeders.
Dogz Pay adds an extra layer of security against scams, unauthorised charges, and fraud. It's exclusively available for Dogz Online breeders, so you can move forward with greater confidence.
If you ever need assistance, our team is here to help support you through the process.
