Additional comments:
It is recommended that approved purchasers maintain contact with me so that when a breeding has taken place, I can inform you of the possible whelping date. Once the bitch whelps, a non-refundable deposit in the sum of $200.00 is required to reserve a puppy. Should I determine that another breed may better suit your needs, I will be happy to assist you with information and to recommend breeders. Thank you for taking the time and effort to complete this questionnaire.
