Puppy Buyer Questionnaire
Your assistance in completing this questionnaire will help me in placing the right puppy in your home. Please know I want to be certain all of my puppies are placed into homes where they are going to live in the house and be part of the family. These questions are not meant to be judgmental in any way, so please feel free to be candid in your responses. Thank you for your cooperation and your interest in one of my "fur kids".

A dog with Limited Registration, as well as a spayed/neutered dog is eligible to compete in all AKC events except in the Conformation (Breed) ring. Is this acceptable?
