Puppies and Dogs for Sale From Private Sellers

Meet puppies and dogs for sale from private sellers on Tradingpost.

Take your time over a puppy. Ask to visit the litter where it has been raised, see each pup with its mother, and ask the seller about the breeder, the microchip and vaccination records, worming, and the age each pup is ready to leave its mother. A seller who welcomes questions, a visit and a follow-up call is worth waiting for.

Filter by breed, age, gender and location to narrow the search, and keep it close enough that you can visit before you decide. Each listing shows the seller's location and a way to get in touch, and most carry photos, so you can ask your questions before you travel.

Breeds Australian buyers look for most: Cavoodle, Labrador Retriever, Golden Retriever, Groodle, French Bulldog, Border Collie, German Shepherd Dog and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Also popular: Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Labradoodle, Dachshund and Maltese. Or narrow by male and female, or pups under 3 months.
