Daveren Puppy Questionnaire

The information you provide will help determine if the breed chosen is a good fit for you. It is my goal to be sure you get a dog that will fit your lifestyle and that my dogs go to homes that they will be happy in. The info will also help me to select the best puppy in the litter for you and your lifestyle. Even puppies in the same litter can have very different personalities and needs. Your information will not be sold or given out. It will be used solely by the breeder to determine suitability.

If you have any questions feel free to email me at; DaverenKees@Gmail.com .

**Only COMPLETE applications will be considered. Please complete each question.

**I always promptly respond to applications! If your application or email does not get a response then I most likely did not get it & it was lost in cyber space. I ALWAYS respond with in 72 hours so send me an email if you do not hear from me in that time frame.

** We are certainly not the Puppy Cheap O' Depot! I do NOT sell my puppies at bargain basement prices. It is not in their best interest! If you are searching for the cheapest price please look else where.... You get what you pay for! Our puppies are raised in our home with tons of love and attention & they come from thoroughly health screened, Champion parents, with exceptional temperaments.
