If you are interested in obtaining a puppy from Summit Farms please fill out the following questionaire. Our puppies are very special to us and therefore it is our responsibility to make sure they get the best possible home we can find for them. This questionnaire will help us learn about you, your family, your home, and your lifestyle. That in turn will help us to match a puppy to you and your specific lifestyle. We will not make a final decision on puppy placement until after eight weeks and we have a complete evaluation on each puppies temperment and their structure.
Filling out this application does not guarantee a puppy will be placed with you.Thank you for your interest in our puppies and for taking the time to fill out the questionaire.
