Framheim German Shepherds

THIS IS THE QUESTIONNAIRE  WE DEVELOPED FOR PROSPECTIVE PUPPY BUYERS. SINCE WE ARE NOT BREEDING PRESENTLY, I CAN BE CANDID AND EXPLAIN THAT SOME OF THE CHOICES ARE NOT WHAT WE WOULD APPROVE OF BUT WE WANTED PEOPLE TO BE HONEST WITH THEIR PLANS FOR OUR PUPPIES. SO WHEN YOU GET TO THE CHOICE OF ANSWERS LIKE:  'CHAINING YOUR DOG', TRUST ME, THAT IS NOT A HOME WE WOULD CHOOSE!

FRAMHEIM SHEPHERDS
