If we do not have a puppy matching your preferences colour or sex wise, you will be presented with available puppies (if any). Otherwise the reservation fee will be transferred to next litter.
Birth Notification
You will be notified when the pups are born. Breeding is nor mathematics and unfortunaly, it is not possible to know how many pups will be in litter, what color or sex. Please also keep in mind, pups are delicate and it takes time for them to be “up on their feet”…

If the puppy is to be shipped, ensure that the full amount is paid 10 days before the scheduled shipping date.
"Best Puppy Upbringing"
This refers to a comprehensive set of practices and standards implemented to ensure the optimal health, well-being, and development of puppies from birth until they are ready to transition to their new homes. The key components of such a policy may include:
Well-Cared-for Mother:
The mother of the puppies is given proper care and attention to ensure her health and well-being throughout the pregnancy and nursing period.
Up-to-Date Vaccinations for the Mother:
The mother dog is kept current on all vaccinations to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases to the puppies.
Nutrient-Rich Diet:
The mother is provided with a balanced and nutritious diet that is specifically formulated to meet the nutritional needs of a pregnant or nursing dog.
Specialized Puppy Diet:
Puppies are introduced to a high-quality, age-appropriate mostly raw diet that supports their growth and development. The food should be nutritionally balanced to meet the specific requirements of growing puppies.
Supplementation with Vitamins and Minerals:
Additional vitamins and minerals may be added to the puppy’s diet to ensure they receive the essential nutrients for healthy development.
Deworming Protocols:
Regular deworming schedules are followed to address potential internal parasites that could impact the health of the puppies.
Veterinary Care:
Puppies receive regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, and any necessary medical care to monitor their health and address any issues promptly.
Clean and Safe Environment:
Puppies are raised in a clean and safe environment to minimize the risk of infections and provide a comfortable space for development.
Socialization and Enrichment:
Efforts are made to expose puppies to various stimuli, people, and environments to promote positive socialization and ensure they are well-adjusted.
Transparent Communication with Buyers:
Breeders or owners communicate openly with potential buyers, providing information about the puppy’s health, care, and any necessary instructions for continued well-being.
We make a commitment to responsible breeding and the welfare of the animals, aiming to produce healthy, happy, and well-adjusted puppies ready for a smooth transition to their new homes.
"No Visit Policy"
Here at Regals and Royals we have implemented a rule where potential buyers are not allowed to physically visit the puppies until they have received their full set of vaccinations. This policy is typically in place to prioritise the health and well-being of the puppies by minimising the risk of exposure to infectious diseases.
The rationale behind this policy is to prevent the introduction of harmful pathogens that could be brought in by visitors, as young puppies are often more susceptible to illnesses before they have completed their vaccination series. By restricting visits until the pups are fully vaccinated, we aim to create a controlled and safe environment for the puppies during their critical early weeks of life.
During this period, communication is possible through other means, such as phone calls, emails, or virtual updates, allowing potential buyers to stay informed about the puppy’s development without physically interacting with them until they are considered less vulnerable to certain diseases.
"Taking good care of a new puppy"
The care for your puppy is essential for ensuring their health, well-being, and overall development. The guidelines you’ve provided are crucial components of responsible puppy care. Here’s a breakdown of each point:
Quarantine Until Full Vaccination:
Keeping the puppy in quarantine until they have received their full set of vaccines helps protect them from potentially harmful diseases during their vulnerable early weeks.
Regular Deworming:
Implementing a regular deworming schedule is essential for preventing and addressing internal parasites that could affect the puppy’s health.
Protection Against External Parasites:
Ensuring protection against external parasites, such as fleas and ticks, is important for the puppy’s comfort and overall well-being.
Safety Measures:
Taking care of the puppy’s safety involves creating a secure environment, removing potential hazards, and providing appropriate supervision to prevent accidents.
Developmental Support:
Avoiding demanding physical exercise until the puppy is fully grown helps protect their developing joints and muscles. Providing age-appropriate activities and mental stimulation supports healthy development.
Neutering
Neutering is mandatory unless otherwise specified in the contact. Waiting until the dog is fully developed aligns with the practice of avoiding paediatric neutering, promoting the dog’s overall health and maturity.
Nutritious Diet:
Feeding the puppy a well-balanced and nutritious diet is crucial for their growth and overall health. At Regals and Royals we are dedicated to raw feeding using locally produced beef, lamb, and fish to provide essential nutrients. You can read more about raw feeding here.
RnR as a breeder is focused on providing a comprehensive and responsible care plan for our puppies. It’s also important for new puppy owners to continue these practices to ensure the ongoing health and well-being of their furry companions.
Regular veterinary check-ups, proper training, and a loving environment contribute to a happy and healthy life for the puppy beyond their time with the breeder.
Whilst you are waiting for your puppy, we recommend for you to check our our “How to prepare for your puppy” blog.
"Additional Expences"
If you are an international buyer, there additional expenses related to the care and documentation of your puppy you must take into consideration. Here’s a brief explanation of each item you’ve mentioned:
Remaining Puppy Vaccine:
Puppies typically receive a series of vaccinations to ensure they are protected against various diseases. The last puppy vaccine is part of this series and is administered to boost the puppy’s immune system.
Health Certificates:
Health certificates are official documents issued by a veterinarian, indicating that the puppy is in good health and free from contagious diseases. These certificates may be necessary for travel or when crossing borders.
Traces Certificates:
Traces certificates (Trade Control and Expert System) are documents related to the movement of animals within the European Union. They may be required for international travel or when importing/exporting animals.
If you are picking up the puppy personally, TRACES will not be needed.
Export pedigree:
Optional feature and is generated upon request, with additional costs associated. An export pedigree is a document that allows a dog to be registered under a different kennel club or participate in events abroad. Unless stated oterwise, all our pups are limited registration.
Other Specific Vaccines or Documents:
Depending on the destination or specific health requirements, additional vaccines or documents may be necessary. For example, certain countries may have specific regulations or diseases that require additional vaccinations or documentation.
It’s important to consult with your veterinarian and research the specific requirements of the destination country if you plan to import the puppy to.
Each country may have its own set of rules regarding vaccinations, health certificates, and other necessary documentation.
I suggest using this site to get preliminary info on import requirements.
Rabies Vaccine:
The rabies vaccine is typically administered to dogs to protect them from the rabies virus, which is a severe and often fatal disease. It is a core vaccination in many regions and may be required for international travel or as part of local regulations. Croatia is rabies free county.
If the recipient country requires, the initial rabies vaccine is administered at around 3 months of age. This vaccine is not included in basic puppy price.
Puppy Can Travel 21 Days After Getting the Vaccine: Many countries and airlines have specific requirements for pet travel, and a waiting period after the rabies vaccination is often mandatory. The 21-day waiting period is a common guideline to ensure that the vaccine has taken effect and the puppy is protected against rabies before travel.
"Puppy Pick-Up"
- Preferred in person.
- If the buyer chooses to pick up the puppy in person, no additional shipping fees apply.
Shipping Details:
- If the buyer opts for shipping, specific shipping documents (health certificate, traces, or similar) and vaccines are considered extras.
- Shipping costs are not included in the puppy price and are the sole responsibility of the buyer.
- The shipping agent must be a licensed one and able to provide a registration number for travel documents.
- If the puppy is to travel by airplane, the breeder does not approve of cargo. Only accompanied flights or flight nannies are accepted.
Location and Extra Charges:
- The breeder’s location is in Split, Croatia.
- Delivery to other cities (e.g., Zagreb airport) is subject to an extra charge.
This clear communication of policies helps set expectations for the buyer and ensures a smooth process for both parties involved. It’s common for breeders to have specific guidelines for puppy pick-up and shipping to prioritize the well-being and safety of the puppy during transportation. Licensed shipping agents and specifying the preferred method of travel by airplane (accompanied flights or flight nannies) are here to make sure of puppy’s welfare during the shipping process.
If you have any further questions or wish to reserve your place on our wish list, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Frequently asked questions
Please read this page carefully if you are considering purchasing a Regals and Royals puppy. Here are answers to some common questions. If you still have questions after reading, we will be happy to help.
Occasionally, yes.
Our breeding is related to the fact that we want to have at least one dog from each litter, either with us or with our close friends. Depending on the number of puppies in the litter, we may have a puppy that is available for a new family. If you are interested in our puppy please fill our the application (we have a list of reservations and a questionnaire for new owners).
Yes, but only occasionally. We strive to breed to improve the quality of our dogs. Some of them are blue, some carry blue, some are different color. When looking for a puppy, we advise you to look for a dog that will suit you in all features, not just color.
No. If asked, we will recommend another breeder, but we will certainly not resell other people’s dogs.
Well, this is a difficult question. It is never easy to choose who will take which puppy home. We would like to point out that we prefer families looking for their future pets than kennels. We get the impression that Stafford should be a pet dog, we don’t want our puppies to live in outdoor kennels.
Raising puppies both in a house and in a kennel setting each comes with its own set of positive aspects, and the choice often depends on the specific needs of the breed, and the breeder’s commitment to providing a healthy and well-rounded environment for the puppies. Indoor time provides socialization opportunities, family integration, early exposure to household elements and closer monitoring. Outdoor time provides outdoor exposure, space for play and exploration and promotes healthy development in natural environment.
We try to accustom all puppies to home hygiene, walking on a leash, and basic crate training. How much each puppy will adopt depends on the puppy itself.
We find it very difficult, if not impossible, to say whether a 6-week-old puppy will become a show dog. So NO – we don’t sell puppies as exclusive show dogs. In addition to genetic predispositions, the show dog requires a lot of time, work and knowledge. If you are looking for a show dog, we advise you to buy an already formed dog. If you insist on buying a puppy – it is best to choose the one you like and hope for the best. If you chose so, you need to make aditional arrangements as our basic cotract is pet only with limited registration, mandatory neuter.
This depend on the timing mostly. If the mother is soon to have puppies, or is with the pups – she is in quarantine. The father is not always with us, he may not even be in the same country as we are. If we used our own stud dog, then of course you can meet him. If these two are not available, we will for sure let you meet some of our other dogs.
The Croatian Kennel Club has strict rules related to breeding, and according to the club, direct incest is not allowed. Line breeding is only partially allowed; but only when referring to litters where common ancestors are in a combination of 2 – 3 (grandparents x great-grandparents).
All our litters come from parents registered in Croatian Kennel Club, from health tested parents. Dogs owned by us have been tested (and negative) on l2gha, hc and phpv. They also often have recordings of the locomotor system Also, all females that we use in breeding have a breeding permit which confirms that they meet the breed standard. At the same time, all our adult dogs have a socialization test for dangerous dogs, as it is mandatory in our country. All documentation is available for viewing.
Puppies are vaccinated between 6-7 weeks and then receive another dose of vaccine at the age of 9-10 weeks. These two vaccines are called Puppy vaccines, and after those the pups are ready to leave to their new homes. Upon request and at additional charge pups can be picked up at a later date, with a full vaccination protocol. (if the puppy is intended for export, for example)
Yes. Puppies are chipped at the age of six weeks, at the same time they receive their first vaccine. Croatian Kennel Club begins the registration of puppies on the day they are born, as the the club manager visits us to confirm that the puppies are age / breed / color appropriate. In the following weeks, the club performs another examination and only after that the pedigrees are issued. Export pedigrees (if required) are ordered at a later date.
Our dogs live in a flea-free house, we do not use aggressive chemicals if not needed. All dogs that puppies come in contact are parasite free.
Intestinal parasites are dealt with on the recommendation of a veterinarian, the medicine we use most often is Drontal Puppy.
Yes. Immediately after birth and then after a few weeks when chipped and vaccinated. Visits to the vet are recorded in their passport.
RnR puppies are born and raised in our home. They get to know our regular daily routines, meet children and other people, as well as other pets. When they grow a little they spend time in the outdoor fence, in the air. They also hang out, under supervision, with other members of our pack. In addition to their mother, we have several male and female dogs (intact and neutered).
Visits are only allowed when the pups are fully immunized. In the meantime, we will be more than happy to provide as many pictures and videos as possible.
Puppies should not leave their mothers before 8 weeks as this may affect their development. We prefer if you take the puppy at the 9-10 weeks of age. Later pick ups are possible, at an additional cost.
Import rules and regulations are governed by the country of destination. As Croatia is a member of the EU, the pups usually leave after their second vaccine, at the age of 9-10 weeks. Basic information about the requirements can be found here: Pet Travel
We prefer personal pickup, but we do understand this is not always possible. If the pup is to be shipped, all the transportation cost comes as extra and is not included in the price. Keep in mind we are located in Split, closest airport is Split (SPU). The pup might need transport crate, traces, or additional documents due to not traveling with the owner. Check all these info an prices on time.
