Buyer Evaluation Questionnaire

This questionnaire is for the mutual benefit of you, the prospective owner, me as the seller/breeder and the Shetland Sheepdog you plan to have as a member of your family. It does not constitue 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 Shetland Sheepdog owner.

If I fail to respon with in 24 hour period please send me an email.

If you have any problems with this form please feel free to call me right away.

Thank you, Tammy Riggs of Maple Leaf Shelties
