i would rather have the puppy back and no he will be loved than leave him with someone who doesn't really want him or appreciate him.

but had no pups and not expecting any so I didn't answer them. Initially, it feels a bit pushy but then it is good they are being careful. I don't ship puppies so #11 doesn't apply as far as I am concerned. However, that being said, if someone 'didn't like the puppy', I believe I would take him back right away and tell them that I will reimburse them what I get paid for the puppy upon resale. I wouldn't want someone to keep a puppy of mine and not be over the top in love with him/her. I have a clause in my contract that states I will take bully back at any time in hers/his life for whatever reason but I state nothing there about reimbursement. If someone gave me back a 10 yo bully that is different than a 14 week old puppy as far as money...an older bully would either live here or be rehomed in a suitable home w/ no reimbursement.
Hmmmmm

before in a pamphlet or something. That being said, I think it is a good list of questions.

If you go to the BCA web site and then to the link for Finding a breeder you will find most of the questions on page 12 and 13.

Thankfully at least the are researching the breed

one thing that would come to my mind about this email would be (how did they get your name?) if they haven't been to your website?, If it was a referal they would of said who refered them. Besides that sounds like they want to make sure they are choosing a breeder who is commited to the bred and help them through there life of there dog. maybe question 11 was ment like if some unforseen thing came up could they return the dog?(alot of people have it in there contract the dog HAS to be returned to the breeder), or maybe they want to hear that you try to match up personalities of pups to owners needs..who knows??? I would answer the questions,and ask about #11. at least it didn't start like this..."do you have any puppies ready to go for x mas" lol... just sounds like she read an artical on questions to ask a breeder when considering a pup. I've been asked the stair question alot?

I know how hard it is when looking for a puppy and some breeders will not even give you enough courtesy to return your emails.

and shows the person has a real ineterest in getting a puppy that is right for them. I am sure you can answer them all with ease

Not like her puppy? What does that mean exactly?

I am happy to see someone put that much thought into the initial conversation regarding a pup. So many people make snap decisions regarding a purchase...the proverbial "how much is that doggy" is the first and only question that many ask (to which I always answer--I'm sorry I don't have a pup available right now). I would congratulate Kim and answer her questions plainly and simply.
