Puppy Inquiry
Questionnaire
Our questionnaire is to get to know you better. Our puppies are very important to us and we
want them placed in the best homes possible. Each puppy is different, just as each
family/individual is. We want to see each puppy placed in the home that will be the best fit for
everyone as this is a long-term commitment and those that buy puppies from us are considered
as family.
Please fill this questionnaire out honestly; there are no wrong answers. Please be aware that
filling out this questionnaire does not mean that we will have a puppy suitable for your lifestyle.
Often, not until the puppies are born, and sometimes not until they are old enough to evaluate
structure and personality, will we know what we have available. Our puppies are also not
placed on a first-come first-serve basis. We always try to fulfill the wishes of those wanting a
puppy, but it is our decision of which puppies would be best for which types of homes. Whenever
possible we will give you a variety of puppies to choose from and will offer you advice and in
depth information on each puppy to help you make a fully educated choice. But please know
that being the first one to turn in a questionnaire/deposit does not mean that you get first pick,
or even guarantee that we will have a puppy for you. (For example, if you want a blue merle
female, there may not be a pup of that color/sex born. Or if you wanted a show-prospect male,
we may not feel that the males in the litter are show prospects, and in that case we may suggest
another puppy or another of our upcoming litters)
If we are unable to fulfill your puppy wish, we will be happy to refer and recommend you to
another reputable Aussie breeder with pups or a planned litter.
Our prices do differ a small bit between litters. Please don’t hesitate to ask for pricing on any
litter you are interested in. Also ask about our puppy guarantees and incentive program.
Thank you for completing this questionnaire honestly. Again, there are no wrong answers; this
is just a tool we use that helps us place each puppy in the home that fits its personality and
drive. Please return this questionnaire to us in person, by mail, or by email.
We will contact you about availability of puppies and deposit information.
Thanks again for your interest!
