The CKC is no longer issuing free dog registration paperwork. Do you wish to receive an official certificate on paper in the mail once your dog is registered?
A. What is your work (school) schedule?
*
B. What will a typical day be like for your puppy?
*
C. What would you say has been a highlight of the experience waiting for your puppy to be joining your family?
*
D. Would you rather a puppy who is reserved but maybe skeptical or needs more patience to socialize, or would you rather a rambunctious, high energy puppy who needs a lot of stimulation and assistance with relaxation?
*
Most Tollers are the latter.
E. What are some things that you will be introducing your puppy to right away? (i.e. elevators, underground parking, sirens, gunshot (hunters), toddlers, cats, glass doors, being alone for 8 hours a day, etc.)
*
F. Are there specific disciplines or activities that you want your dog to be able to participate in? If yes, at what age will you be starting this?
*
G. Which of the following organized activities have you considered/are you planning to explore with your dog when s/he is old enough?
Most Tollers thrive with mental/physical stimulation of organized activities.
H. Which of the following casual activities do you plan to participate in with your dog?
I. Opportunity to select a couple of favourites, with your reasons as to why. THIS IN NO WAY GUARANTEES THE PUPPY/IES YOU LIST. Please list a minimum of two or more puppies that you feel an affinity toward. Optional response.
We spend all our time with the puppies and are best positioned to make the match for you based on the puppy's overall behaviour, not simply on their looks or a cute thing they did in a video.
J. Briefly describe your plan for the puppy in the week immediately following Gotcha Day. (Will you be at home or working outside of the home, who is supporting you, have they been able to watch Puppy Culture, etc.?)
*
K. Where will your puppy sleep this week? Where will your dog sleep once s/he is an adult?
*
L. Which vet have you selected? Have you spoken with them about the minimal vaccination protocol? Will they stock a parvo/distemper (NO OTHER VACCINE) shot for your puppy?
*
M. Do you have any concerns or are there any areas where you need more understanding about your future puppy?
*
N. Do you have anything else you want to mention or concern about when it comes to making the match for you?
*
It's ok to have a favourite puppy, but having a few favourites is even better. Please refrain from specifically mentioning a particular puppy if you can.
