Questionnaire

PUPPY QUESTIONNAIRE 
As you can see from this questionnaire we want to know a lot about the people who want to buy one of our dogs or puppies. We are particular about whom we sell a puppy to. We have a lot invested in our dogs, both monetarily and emotionally.  We want to be sure that they go to the best homes possible.  This is a puppy that will become a family member for 10-15 years. It is a long term commitment with many responsibilities.  Your answers will help us decide if one of our puppies would be a good match for you.
