Buyer Evaluation Questionnaire


 

This questionnaire is for the mutual benefit of you, the prospective owner, me as the seller/breeder and the Austrailan Shepard dog you plan to have as a member of your family. It does not constitute as a contract on my part to provide you with a puppy, nor does it obligate you to take one. Your answers to the questions are not the only factor in the determination of your suitability as a Australian Sheppard owner.
