| Questionannaire for Purchase of a North Wind Puppy or adult dog. |
QUESTIONNAIRE
The first step in the process of purchasing a Border Collie from us, involves answering some
questions to help us get to know you! Please spend some time with these questions and be
very honest as this helps us select a puppy that is a good match for your family. Likewise,
we will be honest and up-front with you regarding the suitability of a given puppy or if we feel
that a Border Collie may not be the breed of choice for your situation.
Remember that acquiring a puppy is a long-term commitment, not to be entered into
impulsively and we want to feel confident in our decision to place a puppy in your home.
