Plans for your Puppy
Please tell us a little bit about how you plan to integrate your new puppy into your family
LIVING SITUATION FOR YOUR PUPPY. Please describe the living situation for the puppy. Is someone home during the day at your house? How many hours daily would the dog be left alone? If no one is at home during the day, would you plan for someone to come into your home to let the puppy in and out during the potty training stage? (A doggy daycare if run properly, can be an excellent choice for working new puppy parents as well once your puppy has had all of his/her vaccines.)
SLEEPING. Where do you plan on having your puppy spend the night? (Please be specific, e.g., in a kennel in the garage, in a playpen in the kitchen, in a crate in my bedroom, on the bed with my kids.)
TRAINING. Our contract requires training, whether structured classes or your own training. What type of training will you and your puppy participate in?Structured in-person classes, Private lessons with trainer, Self-training, Online classes?
GETTING PUPPY HOME. How do you intend to get your puppy home? (Pick up by car, fly to our local airport and take the puppy in-cabin, etc). Please note, we do NOT ship puppies with just anyone and will supply a list of trusted flight nannies, you must have a reliable and safe way to take your puppy home.
SOCIALIZATION. Socialization with humans and other dogs is critical to the healthy emotional development of a puppy. Because of covid-related social restrictions, socialization opportunities are limited. How do you plan to properly socialize your puppy given these circumstances?
PLANS FOR NEW DOGS. Are you or anyone in your household planning on getting another puppy during the next year? If so, please provide details on the breed, breeder, and goals for that puppy.
MANAGING PUPPYHOOD. Puppies often have a lot of energy and can chew, dig, bark, soil the house, and cry at night. They can play roughly and scratch your skin with teeth and nails, they can get sick on floors, furniture, and in cars. Please tell us your patience level and how you might deal with the challenges of puppyhood.
PLEASE TELL US MORE. Is there anything else you would like us to know about your preferences, you, your family, or your living situation that relates to having a puppy?

What are some key details you are looking for in your next addition;
ENERGY LEVEL. The energy level in my household is:
We are a very low-energy household and need a dog that shouldn't be expected to do or get out much beyond potty breaks and the occasional short walk.
We are sporadically active and want a dog that is more interested in lounging than playing.
We lead a moderately active life and are frequently busy and want a dog that we can do things with on weekends.
We are a very active household and always on the go and want a dog that is energetic enough for daily physical activity (this includes families with kids that will play daily with the dog).
We are energizer bunnies and need a very active dog that can keep up with multiple daily activities.
Spay Neuter Requirement ; I understand that this puppy is not to be bred and is required to be spayed/neutered (unless stated in the puppy agreement I sign), and I am subject to significant fines and other damages as stated in the contract if not spayed/neutered and/or bred. I understand that the contract requires spay/neuter between a Year and 6 months - 2 Years of age, no exceptions.I understand these requirements are in the purchase contract for the puppy and will not be changed after you sign your contract.
Yes, I agree to the spay/neuter and no-breeding condition of this contract.
No, I do not agree to the spay/neuter and no-breeding condition of this contract.
I am a breeder and am purchasing breeding rights
