Questions for you to answer for HPR enquiries

You may think to yourself that its rather odd to be asked questions about the suitability of your family life, before we can say yes we will sell you a puppy.  Their are many reasons as to why we ask these questions.  But the main one is to make sure that this dog is right for you and your family.  Today buying a dog is not cheap, and buying a quality healthy puppy is very important.  Anyone can purchase a puppy off the internet on a whim. But puppies brought on a whim can be sickly in health, or the parents could have potential health problems.  Buying off a legitimate breeder you know you are not fuelling puppy farming, backyard pet breeding.

• What is your name and address?
• Can you tell me key things you think I should know about you as a family?
• Do you work full time or part time?
• If yes how many hours per day will the puppy be on its own?
• Are you single, married or living with a partner, or friends?
• Who will the dog primarily belong too?
• Do you have any children and if yes what are their ages?
• Do you have any other pets in the home?
• If yes what are they?
• Is this dog being brought as a present? Or surprise?
• Do you understand the training required to own a hunting breed of dog?
• Will you go to training classes?
• Do you live in a  house with garden?
• Is your garden fenced in correctly?
• Do you have walks direct from your home?
• Do you live in a flat? With no garden.
• Do you realise dogs are not adults until 18 months there fore must not be over exercised?
• Why must you not over exercise a dog?
• Can you wait for a puppy?
• Do you understand that to go on our waiting list you now need to enter into an agreement that you will not go on other waiting lists.  That we will endeavour to help those on our waiting list.
• Can you exercise the dog yourself?
• Do you have local dog creche that you could use if need be?
• We as breeders do not sell breeding dogs or bitches unless they are shown in the UK at championship shows.  Each puppy will have a breeding endorsement on the K C Document.
• Please note the Kennel club are having many internal issues, please understand that when puppies leave the chances of having documents back in time are slim.  But we will register the litter in the hope they are being processed. 
• Have you heard of Lucy's law?
• You can not resell your dog to a third party dealer, trader, or another breeder?
• When enquiring for puppies are you actually asking breeders if they are licensed to breed and sell dogs? It is illegal to sell dogs over £1000 and not have a license.  Please ask because if the answer is no, then you are fuelling bad animal welfare ethics, breaking defray guidelines.  Make sure you understand this.  Walk away if a breeder doesn't have one. 
• Please note that if Covid lockdowns occur then visiting puppies can prove difficult, but pick up is usually allowed at the moment.
