About Woodlot Companions!

Woodlot Companions is passionate about dog breeding! At the heart of our daily operations is stewardship and every detail of our breeding practices define what stewardship means to us. We believe in providing a state-of-the-art facility for our dogs to grow and thrive in so they can live their best lives indoors with plenty of room to run and play on our 6 acre property outdoors. In 2018 we built a new house to better accommodate our dogs. We wanted to give our dogs the best possible living environment above and beyond the state or USDA requirements. Our dogs are not kept in wire kennel cages or on netted flooring — they live on solid surface, radiant heated flooring, in well ventilated living quarters that have a access door allowing them to an outside play area. We also have a two-acre area where they can run, jump, and play, getting plenty of exercise and the enjoyment of the great outdoors. We believe in following both State and Federal regulations so we are happily certified breeders through the state of Ohio as well as the USDA. We believe in creating the healthiest lines of breeds possible so genetic testing is part of every adult dog’s life in our care. We want to ensure we’ve given our puppies the best chance at living a long and happy life! We believe in partnership with our local veterinarian to provide all adult dogs as well as their puppies medically sound advice and practices. We believe that each dog has a personality and a purpose so we work with a local puppy trainer to determine temperaments so that each puppy goes to a forever home that is a good match for their lifestyle. We believe in giving our buyers confidence in what we do and how we operate no matter if they are able to visit our kennel in person or have to buy their dog completely online. Communication, transparency, and helpfulness build our relationships to create a seamless puppy buying experience! All puppies are raised on our premises until the day they find their forever home. We sell directly to the buyer and do not believe in selling any of our puppies to pet stores or brokers as we want to make sure our dogs are living their best lives possible by eliminating possible poor treatment or conditions by any ‘middle-man’ practices. Stewardship is simply a way of life at Woodlot Companions. We strive to be on the forefront of ethical breeding culture to create higher standards for canines and their forever families across the country!

Delivery Options

We have 5 different ways you can get safely get your puppy:

1) Pick up in person. We welcome visitors but a pickup appointment must be made and approved prior to coming to the kennel. If arriving by car, please see our puppy road trip guide here. If you prefer to fly we recommend flying into either Cleveland, Columbus, or Pittsburg airports. We are about equal distance from all 3 airports. Private aircraft are able to fly into the Holmes County Airport which is about 15min from our property. Please check with age and size restrictions with your airline prior to travel. For helpful tips on airline travel check out our blogs on our Website.

2) Flight Nanny. If you do not have the time or the desire to fly in cabin with your puppy, we can hire a puppy flight nanny on your behalf. This is the most expensive way for your puppy to travel but comes with the added assurance that someone is watching over your new family member with the same care and concern you would if you were able to come yourself. There are weight and height restrictions to fly with a canine in cabin so please keep in mind this option might not be available to you.

3) Air-Cargo. This is the most frequent method we use for sending puppies off to their forever homes. We use a wonderful broker who knows all the details and regulations that are involved in safely flying your new fur baby to its forever home. If you have detailed questions about all that is involved in flying a puppy in cargo, please read all about it on our FAQ page on our website.

4) Private Transport. We have a few private drivers we work with who can personally pick up your puppy from our kennel and bring it to your home. This is a great option for families living within a 10 hour radius of Ohio.

5) Public Puppy Transport. If you live far away and still hat the thought of your puppy flying in cargo, we do have a puppy transportation option that works much like a school bus. Many puppies travel the same route in a sprinter van, and are dropped off at their forever homes or agreed upon meet up points. Puppies will be dropped off in the order in which is the quickest delivery route, and drop off times cannot be controlled or scheduled.
