Puppy Application

This questionnaire is designed to assist Spring High Kennel in placing our quality puppies in their forever homes. Each puppy is an individual and not all puppies need the same type of home or can offer the same type of companionship, so you should know that there are no right or wrong answers here! Please reply carefully and honestly to these questions so that it is clear in your mind just what qualities you are really looking for in a dog, and what you want that dog to do for you. We want happy dogs, and happy owners! Susan Cooney, Breeder
