Tell us a little about yourself (Children? Pets? Etc):*

Why are you interested in a SW Retrievers Golden Scholar puppy?:*

Have you raised a puppy before? Are you aware of the expenses, time, and continued training that they require?:*

Where will your puppy stay?*

IndoorsOutdoors

If you work outside of the home, what are your plans for the puppy while you're away?*

Although our puppies will have a solid start to being house trained, they may not be completely housebroken when they go home and will likely still have accidents indoors. Puppies never use the bathroom indoors out of spite or "on purpose," they simply have small, immature bladders that they cannot fully control yet. Do you understand that they are still babies that will require time, effort, and dedication on your part to continue their training to be fully house trained?*

Do you understand that your puppy will still require training after they leave our facility? Our goal is to provide our Golden Scholars with a strong foundation of skills and basic commands, but this doesn't mean they're done learning. People don't stop going to school after kindergarten and neither should your puppy.*

YesNo

Just like people, all puppies learn at a different pace. At SW Retrievers we tailor our program to match the needs of each individual puppy which means that sometimes a puppy might not fully understand a skill we've taught them. We will do our absolute best to not only have each puppy successfully complete our program, but to exceed our expectations and learn even more. However, sometimes a puppy just isn't quite mature enough to fully grasp an Advanced concept we're teaching just yet. Do you understand that we cannot guarantee that each puppy will be able to successfully complete every Advanced exercise we teach?*

YesNo

Our puppies are started on Purina Pro Plan puppy food. Switching your puppies food abruptly can cause gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting, diarrhea, and a decreased appetite. Any time you decide to change your puppies food, you should transition to the new diet gradually in order to give your dog's system time to adjust to the change. Do you agree to keep your puppy on Purina Pro Plan puppy food for at least two months before transitioning to a new brand?*

YesNo

Your new puppy will love you unconditionally for their entire life. Are you ready to make a commitment to love, care for, and provide financially for them for their entire life?*

YesNo

Do you have any questions for me? Please let me know and I will happily answer them by email!*
