Choosing perfect homes for your puppies is what I believe to be one of the most difficult parts of being a responsible dog breeder. There are so many “what ifs.” Here are some of the “what ifs” that go through my head when I open up my puppy application for new applicants:

• What if the new families don’t love my puppies as much as I did?

• What if the new families don’t know how to handle illness and emergencies?

• What if the new families don’t ever keep in touch with me?

• What if a family breaches my contract?

What if you felt empowered to choose new families (customers) for your puppies based on an application or interview process that gives you confidence in a new family rather than doubt?
