DUCKBACK LABS BRIEF QUESTIONAIRE FOR INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN OUR LABS

Listed below are some brief questions which we request that you answer in order to help us learn more about you, as well as helping us know the temperament of the puppy which would fit your needs best.

Of course, we also like to spend time talking with you on the phone as well as to emphasize that you are always welcome to come visit our farm and play with our Labs. As you may gather from our website, our Labs are our passion and hobby. They, as well as our other animals, have been an integral part of our life for many years. When we breed a litter, we do not do so in order to ‘make’ money, but to keep a puppy in order to continue and improve our breeding program. First and foremost, we believe that our puppies provide the unconditional love and companionship to others that they have done for us for so many years. Thank you for spending the time in filling out the form. Please print it off, fill it out and mail it back to us at: 4901 Lambeth Mill Rd., Bennett, NC 27208.

5.  Under no circumstances whatsoever will your puppy/dog be turned into a shelter or rescue. We will always take your puppy back and find a new home. Do you agree to this? ______

6.  Do you understand that a dog is a life-long commitment, but will bring you many, many hours of joy and happiness. However, there will be Vet bills, dog food bills, etc. ______

7.  Although we ultrasound our female to confirm pregnancy at 30 days of age and x-ray approximately3 to 4 days before delivery, we cannot determine sex like we can in humans. If there is not a puppy available of the particular sex you would like, are you willing to consider another? Remember, all puppies are sold on a limited registration, which means that they are to be spayed or neutered. However, we also respect your choice. Please be aware that since we only breed one or two litters a year, we maintain a waiting list for upcoming litters. _____

Thank you for taking the time to fill out our questionnaire. Please be aware that we are always eager to answer any of your questions and that if you are in need of a place to board your Duckback puppy/dog, we will be more than glad to do so. The Evans gang.
