If you are considering a Robnie puppy, we are flattered. We work hard to breed and raise puppies that conform to the standard, are genetically healthy, intelligent, tractable and make great companions for children, adults and the elderly.
Our puppies are always a member of our family. By your interest in a Robnie puppy you are willing to accept the responsibility for lifelong care of your dog. If, for any reason, you cannot keep your dog, your dog must come back to us.
We feel our puppies are special, and want their new homes to be special. Your puppy needs love, attention, care and training. Puppies need to be taught correct behaviors and learn to be good citizens and members of the family. You must be willing to devote substantial time to caring for, loving and working with your new puppy.
The following questionnaire will give you an idea of some things we consider important in determining if one of our puppies go to your home. Many of the questions are intended to provoke you into thinking about how you will handle certain issues related to your pup. Once we have received and reviewed your questionnaire, we will be in touch with you to discuss the choice of a puppy that we hope will be perfect for you.
Copy and paste the application below into an email, fill it in and either email it to banth@bellatlantic.net or fax to 301-320-9310)
After receiving your Questionnaire, we will contact you.
Your puppy will be available on or after his 8 week birthday. If you are not pleased with your pup for any reason, you may return it to us within two weeks for a full refund. All transportation costs will be your responsibility.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to this questionnaire. I hope answering these questions has helped you understand some of the responsibilities of owning a dog and what we see as important. Our lives are richer, and fuller, for our association with our four legged friends. Yours will be, too.
Regards,
Bonnie and Robert
