BLUERAIN AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERDS

PUPPY QUESTIONNAIRE

BlueRain Aussies strives to place every puppy in the best homes. Our questionnaire is to get to know you better and what you are looking for in a puppy. We feel that we need this information on all prospective buyer(s), this is not only for the puppys best interest but also yours. Each puppy is different just like each family is different. Filling out the questionnaire does not automatically mean that we will have a puppy for you. Also be aware that being the first one to turn in a questionnaire/deposit does not mean that you get first pick, or even guarantee that we will have a puppy for you. We feel that you are adopting one of our family members, it is important to us that you and your puppy are perfectly matched for a lifetime of happiness. The cutest puppy in photos isn’t necessarily the best puppy for your family. Matching our puppies to the right families is the most difficult but rewarding task we have. We take our puppy matching very seriously, and we will always make the final judgement on what puppies go to which families. Please note that we sell to approved homes only. If we are unable to fulfill your puppy request, we are happy to refer and recommend you to another Aussie breeder that has puppies.

Our non-refundable holding fee is $250.00. Our prices differ between litters. Ask for pricing on the litter.

We do require at least one training class after the puppy leaves our home. Early socialization and training are critical to the proper mental development of this breed.

Do you have other pets? Do they get along with other dogs?

Please list (Name, Breed, Age, Sex, Spayed/Neutered?)

Have you ever owned an Aussie?

Why do you want an Aussie?

Have you read the breed standards?

If you have had dogs in the past, what happened to them?

Have you ever had to give up or re-home a dog or other pet? Please elaborate.

Are you familiar with how to groom your Aussie properly for his/her health, comfort and appearance?

Do you have time to brush and trim the puppy’s nails at least twice a month? Aussies do a major shed twice a year, but do shed some all year, can you deal with the dog hair?

Aussies are not meant to be a breed that is shaved. They are a double coated breed to protect them from all weather elements. If you plan on shaving, an Aussie would not be the best breed for you.

How do you feel about vaccines for your puppy?

Gender and color preference? Why?

Are you willing to wait until the puppy is 12 months old before neutering/spaying? Waiting will allow all the growth plates to develop.

Will you consider a puppy of another sex or color if your preference is not available?

Are you on any waiting lists for any other litters?

Do you have a veterinarian? If so, name and phone # please.

Please list 2 personal references, their phone # and e-mail please. I do check references.

Thank you for completing our questionnaire honestly. The information in this questionnaire will not be shared. Please return this questionnaire in person, by mail or e-mail. I will contact you about puppy availability and deposit information.
