Puppy Questionnaire                   


We appreciate your interest in one of our puppies.  This questionnaire serves two purposes:   First, it ensures that all of our puppies are placed in well-suited homes and with families who are capable and aware of the care and long-term commitment necessary in owning a Golden Retriever.

Secondly, it allows me to match you with a puppy whose personality best fits your lifestyle, level of activity, family dynamics, etc.
