Meaning of Love Havanese Puppy Questionnaire
Why fill out this lengthy questionnaire?
It is to protect you and our “puppies to be.” We are preparing to place one of our litters which are part of our family. It is important to us to make sure that our Havanese will be loved and well cared for. We want to place the right puppies in the right homes and this questionnaire will help us to make the best decision. Believe me when I say that if you are not required to fill out a puppy questionnaire when purchasing a Havanese, you may be surprised at the health and quality of your new pet. I filled out this same questionnaire many (6) years ago. There are no right or wrong answers.
