ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING CARE AND LOVE FOR THE LIFE OF THIS DOG?

THEN YOU SHOULD RECONSIDER YOUR DESIRE TO PURCHASE A PUPPY.

We would like to thank you for taking the time to fill in this questionnaire. The idea behind these questions is that, knowing the pup's temperament from day one, we may see different things in them than you, as a stranger attempting to pick one, would. In this way we may be better able to guide you toward a puppy which realistically suits your experience, needs and goals.
