Why have you decided on the dog/dogs that you have applied for? What attracted you to this dog?
If you have previously owned dogs, please tell us about them, and their current status (passed on, lost, given away, stolen, etc)
Please do your best to describe the lifestyle of your family. How would this dog fit into your home, what activities do you do or do you plan on doing with your dog/dogs?
Do you travel often? If so, what do you plan on doing with your dog while you travel?
Who do you believe will be mostly responsible for the care of your dog?
