PUPPY QUESTIONNAIRE
Automatic mail question form: Puppy Form
Mail in form:
A new dog means added responsibilities. It is *very important* that you have thought through all the factors involved in adding a dog to your family and lifestyle.
When you bring a Boxer into your family, you are making a commitment to raise, train and care for your dog throughout its lifetime. Boxers are intelligent and very active medium sized dogs that require training, exercise and socialization to become welcome additions to your life. Puppy socialization, training and obedience classes are highly recommended. Boxers are independent dogs, and are not easy to train. This questionnaire is to help you think through the factors involved in becoming a puppy owner and for me to best make a decision regarding placement of my pups.
