Prospective
Owner Questionnaire
Ebet Toy Manchesters
Thank
you for taking the time to answer these questions. While I understand that it
seems lengthy, I use this information in making every possible effort to see
that my puppies are placed in the most
appropriate
homes according to the needs of both the home and the individual dog.
Your
application will be reviewed and you will be contacted when a puppy becomes
available for you. I ask for a
$50 non-refundable deposit at that time.
Thank you for your interest in my dogs.
Elizabeth
