Prospective buyers
If you see a puppy on this website that you are interested in purchasing, please copy and paste this questionnaire. After completing all of the questions, attached it to your e-mail to me for review. Or simply email me your answers. Please do not be offended by any of my questions. They help me make a decision on whether I feel that you have completely thought out your decision to add a puppy to your family and lifestyle and are aware of what it takes time and money wise to raise and train a puppy and maintain an adult dog for many years to come. They are a long term commitment, highly intelligent with emotions and very social.
Thank You for Your Interest in my Precious Poodle puppies
