We are happy for our puppies to find a home abroad. But we want our puppies to have a good home wherever they are in the world. So our policy is: Spicemill will never ship a puppy abroad to someone who we have never met.

Like for the people enquiring from the UK, we will first of all ask you to provide us with some background information about your lifestyle and situation when you contact us. If we believe we could provide you at some point with a suitable puppy, we would expect you to come and visit us. This can be done before we have a litter, once we have a litter at home with a suitable puppy or at the time of picking up your puppy. We do reserve the right not to sell you a puppy if for any reason we are not happy when meeting you that you could provide a suitable home for the puppy, even if you have made a long trip to come to us.

Please note that for countries for which the puppy will need to travel by plane, our preferred carrier is British Airways (cargo) wherever available. They have an extensive experience and an excellent reputation for the transport of animals. All shipping costs will be at the charge of the buyer. Please note that shipping a puppy can be rather expensive so you need to take this into account when considering your budget. Some countries also have specific rules regarding the age at which a puppy can enter the country and which paperwork or vaccination is required so you will need to check this too. For your information, the closest airport to Spicemill is London Gatwick but animals have to travel from London Heathrow.

For people coming from Europe, there is the option of coming to pick up their puppy by car, which may be easier. Spicemill is less than 2 hours driving from the Eurotunnel terminal and from the port of Dover. Eurotunnel and several ferry companies operating from Dover are approved to transport dogs.
