We would like to thank you for your interest in our Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs. This questionnaire is designed to aid us in the potential placing of a GSMD into your home that will be compatible with your family and lifestyle. Please be honest, open and try to answer each question, the more information you can give us, the better. Please complete this application and return it to us. In order to be considered for one of our GSMD puppies you must:

2. Have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in your household
