They love their walks and need a decent amount of exercise, but mostly they just want to participate fully in the family. They make alert watchdogs and may welcome strangers with enthusiasm or be a bit standoffish, even suspicious, if not well socialized.

  1. What are the bloodlines? Are both dam and sire champions? Do both parents have their health clearances for the common genetic defects (congenital juvenile cataracts, avian TB, Type A PRA)? What is your health guarantee, 2 years, 5 years? Will your sales contract state the dog must be returned to you if it must be given up – for its entire life? Will you be available for the dog’s entire life to help with training problems, health guestions, grooming advice, etc.? How much are your puppies and at what age can they go home? Will they already be crate trained and well started on socialization?
