Ground Delivery (Within 600 Km of The Ranch)
Lakewood Ranch Doodles Education Series
For families located within approximately 600 km of our ranch in Lindsay, Ontario, we may be able to personally deliver your puppy directly to your home or to a mutually agreed-upon meeting location.
We understand that travelling to our ranch isn't always possible. Our driving delivery service helps make bringing your new puppy home convenient while providing a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience.
Unlike many commercial pet transportation services, your puppy is not transported through multiple handlers, warehouses, or transfer points. Instead, your puppy travels with a member of the Lakewood Ranch Doodles family or a trusted representative who is familiar with our breeding program, our puppies, and the individual puppy being delivered.
Because our puppies have been lovingly raised by us from birth, we understand their personalities, routines, and comfort needs. Our goal is to make the transition from our home to yours as smooth and positive as possible.

Caring for Your Puppy During Travel
Your puppy's comfort and well-being remain our highest priority throughout the journey.
Depending on the distance being travelled, we monitor each puppy carefully and make appropriate stops as needed. During the trip, puppies receive:
• Fresh water offered at appropriate intervals
• Comfort and reassurance throughout the drive
• Potty breaks when appropriate for their age and travel duration
• Opportunities to stretch their legs when suitable
• Temperature-controlled transportation year-round
Young puppies naturally sleep for much of the journey, making vehicle transportation one of the least stressful methods of travel for most puppies.
Delivery Day
Upon arrival, you'll have the opportunity to meet your puppy, ask any final questions, and receive your puppy's health records and paperwork.
Whenever time allows, we'll also review:
• Feeding schedule
• Transitioning into your home
• Potty training reminders
• Crate training tips
• First-night expectations
• Health records and paperwork
• Starter package contents (if applicable)
Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and prepared before we leave.
A Smooth Transition
Some puppies may appear a little quiet during their first 24 to 48 hours as they adjust to their new home. This is completely normal and can occur whether your puppy is picked up at our ranch, personally delivered by vehicle, or transported by air.
With patience, routine, and plenty of positive experiences, most puppies settle in quickly and begin feeling at home within a few days.
