Hi all,
My wife, daughter and I have an appointment to "meet the parents" of a potential new family member (puppy)
With this particular breeder we had to submit a written (emailed) letter and detailed application form prior to them allowing a meeting to gauge our suitability to go on a waiting list for a puppy. It was a bit like a job application but I guess it shows that they are very responsible breeders.
I have noted down some question/discussion points that I want to go over at the meeting. If anyone has any thoughts or opinions on these, or things that I have missed I would greatly appreciate it.
