Puppy Application 4/2018

Seaworthy PWD Puppy Questionnaire
thanks for completing this application! At first glance, you might thing "sheesh, this is a little long - are all these questions really necessary?" I know, because I thought the same thing when we got our dogs! But Portuguese Water dogs are not for everyone. they can be mouthy, and jumpy and need training. Please read about this breed and do some investigation. We hand-raise all of our puppies in our home and love them, and we hope you love your puppy, too. Every family is different, and there are no right or wrong answers. We know many families have two working adults and we don't expect anyone to be a superhero and quit a day job just to be able to take home a puppy. Every puppy family has different needs, and this application helps us identify who needs what information and what homes might make the best fit. If you're a veteran PWD owner, we don't want to waste your time regaling things you already know; by the same token, if this is your first puppy or first PWD, we want to make sure you leave prepared for what life with a puppy may bring. So again, thank you!
