17.How have you acquired your pets in the past? a) How many were from a breeder? b) How many were not from a breeder? c) What are the benefits of obtaining a dog through a knowledgeable breeder?
18.We follow our puppy’s progress and stay in touch with our Aussie’s extended families via text, phone, and email. This feedback is EXTREMELY important to us. If you acquire a dog from us will you keep in contact with us? Please elaborate on how you feel about this practice.
19. a) Have you ever raised a puppy from puppyhood on your own? b) In your opinion what is the hardest thing about training a new puppy? c) What are expectations for this puppy and in what time frame?
20.If your puppy were to seem anxious, having trouble adjusting to your lifestyle, or you were dissatisfied in any way, would you mind notifying the breeder that the puppy was not a good fit?
21.It is TOP priority that our pups are happy in their new homes and that their families are a good fit and happy with their Aussies. We are always available for advice for the life of your dog. Our dogs can first and foremost make wonderful family companions in addition to occasional lapdogs and couch potatoes, exercise partners, travel buddies, protection dogs/house alarms, therapy dogs, canine good citizens, and agility, obedience, rally, herding (in some cases) and conformation competitors, etc, depending on the dog, its ancestry and the goals/needs/dedication of the owners.
