Questionnaire for Prospective Purchasers

If you are seriously interested in a Dove Hill Labrador, please fill out the following questionnaire and return it to us. The purpose for this exercise is to encourage you to evaluate your lifestyle, schedules, and goals for a Dove Hill dog. Also, to consider a few points that may not be obvious. It may be emailed as an attachment, copy and pasted, or faxed to 540-672-6139. Our dogs are extremely important to us. We are a small, careful operation that prides itself on the ability to match a breeding with suitable prospective homes. Each litter is produced with a goal in mind and only when we want to keep something for ourselves. We are breeders and do not just make puppies. We appreciate your honest answers and will reciprocate in kind.
