Puppy Questionnaire
Please only submit this questionnaire when our waitlist is open! We wont accept it before the waitlist reopens and we reserve the right to first pick from any litter.
You can copy and paste the 26 questions listed below starting from the top where it says "Date" into a new email or word document and send it to [email protected]. We will review it and call you following that before sharing the deposit instructions. The deposit is non-refundable and will apply towards your total purchase price of the puppy.
We want to get to know you as much as possible to make sure we are a good fit as your breeder. Our goal is to place a puppy in their new home with their best interest in mind. We deeply care about our puppies and want to make sure they are going to a home that provides for their many needs. We are also happy to be a resource if you never raised a puppy before.

15. Do you have any special requests? We are here to help accommodate you the best we can throughout this entire process.
16. How did you hear about us? Google, website forum, referral, or something else?
17. If you are planning to breed this dog, please share with us more information about your breeding program.
18. Mother nature plays a role in when our dogs have heat cycles. If we cannot get you a puppy in the timeframe you prefer, are you willing to wait for the next available puppy spot?
19. Please rank these in order of importance to you: (#1 being the most important and #5 being the least)
Timing of when you receive your puppy
Health of your puppy
Temperament of your puppy
Bloodlines/lineage of your puppy
Color and physique of your puppy
20. Do you or any of your household members have dog allergies?
21. Please explain what your routine will look like for your puppy and include if there are any plans to use a doggy day care center or dog walker?
22. If we accept a nonrefundable deposit from you upon approval of your questionnaire, we only allow you to pass on one litter when it's your turn. Are you okay with this process? Your deposit goes towards the entire purchase price of your puppy.
23. We ask our clients to respond back to us within 24 hours of getting offered a puppy spot on a litter. Are you okay with this process when we call down the waitlist? If you are out of town or busy when we start to call down the waitlist, please communicate that to us.
24. Raising a puppy is a lot of work, but also very rewarding. It will require additional money, patience, and time. Puppies will go through a biting stage that can last several months. Puppies will have accidents in your house and they will need a lot of training, exercise, and socialization. They will also require a lot of supervision and many bathroom breaks. Are you and your household members in a good place to add a puppy to your home?
25. We provide a complimentary one free month of pet insurance for unexpected illnesses/injuries by activating a code we provide to you from Trupanion. Are you okay with this process? We also highly recommend that you continue with a pet insurance plan for your puppy after that first month of taking them home (it's not required).
26. After you accept a spot on a litter, we will email you weekly updates and provide additional educational resources. The breeder likes to communicate with their clients and help them prepare for their puppy at home by providing additional information in advance (rather than all at once on puppy go home day). Are you okay with this process and are you available to communicate with the breeder throughout that procress prior to puppy go home day?
