Edana Aussies - Questionaire

Edana Kennels
Questionnaire

When our puppies are planned we try to place them in the right, loving, committed homes for them. We do our best through this questionnaire and other means, to ensure a good match with their new families. Our puppies are home raised and are well cared for and socialized during their time with my family of 3 kids. As much as possible, we evaluate each puppy's temperament & personality by our observing their development. We welcome you to come and do your own temperament tests also. You do need to realize that when they go to their new homes that they are still puppies and will have accidents and get into mischief that will need correction but that's one part of being a puppy. We expect our owners to finish the job we have started and help our puppies to be well mannered members of the community. They will need training, guidance, proper discipline but most of all lots of love and family time. We recommend you take Obedience Classes and Crate Train.
This questionnaire serves the purpose of helping us to get to know you and what you are looking for in a Australian Shepherd. This is not a contract & does not guarantee that there will be a Aussie for you at this time. It is only the first step & Your assistance in completing this questionnaire will help us to place the right puppy in your home. All information will be kept confidential and used only by us. Thank you for your cooperation and interest in our dogs.

this Puppy pup?________________________________________________________________________________________________
?** We may from time to time find that there is a puppy that we would like to find a Co-ownership home for. Would this be of interest
to you? ______________. The Reason for a Co-ownership would be because we see some Awesome Qualities in this pup that we would like to keep a Watch on through Shows/Trials and if it turns out to be a dog that could pass on these Qualities for the betterment of the Breed and Edana Kennels, then we would like to have one litter from her or use him as a Stud in our Breeding in the future. Due to the fact we can't keep every awesome puppy from every litter , a Co-ownership helps us and our line of Aussies. ? Are you willing to travel (by car or plane)to Alberta, Canada to meet us and our Brittanys and to take your pup home when it is
time? Yes No (I do not like to send a young pup as cargo because it is just too hard on them but I am open to it and have shipped puppies by Air Canada / Jazz Airlines. I have had only great stories about them going as carry-on Luggage, at the seat with their new owners.)
?Further comments: Please feel free to Send us more information that you feel would help us to now you or what you are looking for in
