Newfoundland Puppy Questionnaire, Indiana.

Puppy Questionnaire

We place our puppies with health guarantees and individualized written contracts. All of our puppies are priced the same because every one is guaranteed and is of equal value based on its pedigree and investment. Most of all, we wish to make sure that the puppy you purchase is right for your family and receives the utmost in loving care during its lifetime. We take a lot of time placing puppies. Not everyone who requests a dog will qualify for placement. However, if we do place a dog with you, we have a lifelong commitment to each animal and will work with you to help you realize a rewarding relationship with your Newfoundland. Please help us get to know you better by answering the following questions and sending this questionnaire back to us.

16. Our non-show (companion only) puppies are sold with limited registration and in some cases, spay/neuter contracts. A limited registration does not mean that your dog is not AKC registered, it means that if you bred your dog, its puppies would not be AKC register-able. This is accepted practice among breeders at this time. As much as we value the quality of our dogs, we firmly believe that not all dogs, no matter how much we love them, should be bred. We also require that if under a spay/neuter contract, you do NOT spay or neuter your pet before the age of 12 months. A neutered or spayed animal, as long as it is allowed to complete its critical growth phase prior to the procedure, is just as beautiful and lovable as an intact one and faces fewer health risks. All dogs must be registered with the AKC within one month of purchase.
Are you willing to accept a limited registration for a companion-only puppy?	Yes No
17. Are you willing to sign a spay/neuter contract for the purchase of a companion-only puppy?	Yes No
