For those of you, who are like me, a little telephone shy I have devised a questionnaire of some of the kind of questions I would ask you in person , but find some people including Moi, get a little tongue tied and embarrassed when first meeting or talking to prospective puppy owners, so this simple questionnaire has been devised to save everyone feeling embarrassment and helps get the awkward part over and done with as painlessly as possible.
We spend most of our time doing various chores and spending time with our dogs, our family, and friends, not to mention work, so it's kind of hard to catch us by phone. If you are thinking of phoning or emailing with serious intentions of purchasing a pup from us, we have created this questionnaire to help us to determine if one of our babies is suitable for you and you for them. We’d like to learn a little bit about you and your interest in our beloved breed of dog
This questionnaire is not intended to make you feel un-easy nor intended to infringe on your private life, it is simply some basic questions that we would ask you if we were to meet you in person or speak with you on the phone, and if, like me, you are very telephone shy you may find it hard to express or say what you mean when put on the spot.
Please take the time to answer these questions via email, simply copy and paste the questionnaire and send it to us
when you’ve finished mailto:dreamwolves2@aol.com
Hopefully the questionnaire will help us to assist you and assist us in placing our puppies in the best possible homes. (By this we simply mean suitable loving lifelong homes) it will also help us to match and advise which puppy we think would suit you your family and your lifestyle best. We also want to be sure that YOU will be happy confident and satisfied with your Puppy from us!
We care very much about every puppy we bring into this world and realise the immense importance of adding more dogs into what is already a dog over populated & cruel world, we are aware that our beloved breed is churned out at random purely for money or ego orientated reasons. We really strive to raise, produce and provide puppies of good health with sound temperament for the genuine pet owner who wants peace of mind & who deserves a well adjusted, well raised, balanced, and socially adapted confident pet. We also strive to match those puppies to people who are seriously interested in the breed and who will provide loving, secure lifelong homes for them!
We are Honest Reputable & Responsible Breeders - All our Dogs & puppies are much loved companions first and foremost and are extremely valued & important to us.
