Frequently Asked Questions

You can contact the breeder directly via WhatsApp from each animal's profile page (dog, puppy, cat or kitten). A pre-filled message opens with the animal's name; the breeder typically responds within 24 to 48 hours to arrange an initial conversation.

Yes. Dogs and puppies follow the DHPPi protocol and, for any intra-EU movement, the rabies vaccination. Cats and kittens are vaccinated against feline panleukopenia and cat flu (FVRCP), and where relevant against feline leukaemia (FeLV). Every animal has a health record and a European passport, with the vaccine details on its profile.

Yes, many of our partner breeders offer a secure transport service within Europe. Transportation is arranged in strict compliance with animal welfare standards and can be carried out by car or plane depending on the distance. Costs and arrangements are to be agreed directly with the breeder.

A pedigree is an official document issued by a recognised studbook authority (such as the SCC in France or the VDH in Germany) attesting to the breed's purity and tracing the dog's lineage across at least three generations. It guarantees the authenticity of the breed and provides assurance about the animal's genetic characteristics.

The process unfolds in three main steps: (1) you identify a dog that interests you and contact the breeder through our platform, (2) you communicate directly with the breeder to ask your questions and potentially arrange a visit, (3) once an agreement is reached, the breeder and buyer sign a sales contract in line with European legislation, accompanied by a deposit to reserve the animal.
