Shipping or Picking Up Your Maremma
For our California customers, we are centrally located directly off Highway 41 and less than a day's drive from most CA locations, so picking up your puppy in person is easy. Out-of-state customers also sometimes drive out to pick their puppies up, and we welcome you to do so if that's your wish.
You may also choose to have your puppy shipped commercially. We handle all shipping coordination and arrangements for you, making the process smooth and stress-free. Whether you're picking up in person or having your Maremma shipped across the country, we'll guide you through every step.
Choose the option below that works best for your situation:
Picking up Your Puppy in Person
Perfect for:
- California residents
- Clients from other states within driving distance
- Out-of-state clients who want to fly in and drive home with their puppy
- Anyone who prefers to meet their Maremma and transport them personally
- People who live further away but enjoy traveling with dogs

Not Sure Which Option Is Right for You?
Contact us! We're happy to discuss your specific situation and help you decide whether pickup or shipping makes the most sense.
Need More Time Before Pickup or Shipping?
Life doesn't always cooperate with a 2-week pickup window — and that's okay. If you need a little extra time before your Maremma comes home, our Extended Farm Stay program lets your dog keep growing and learning here at Prancing Pony Farm until you're ready.
Your dog continues their socialization and training with us, and you get peace of mind knowing they're in good hands. Board and training services are also available for dogs needing additional time or structured training before going home.
