Name and relationship ... and phone:
Thank you in your interest in a Desert Reef poodle and taking the time to fill out this application. Should you accept the terms and conditions of the purchaser's contract, you will be asked to send a non refundable deposit of $500.00 when puppies are 3 weeks old. The deposit IS refundable should the appropriate puppy not be found in this litter. (color, gender, temperament test results)
We won't know until delivery whether we have enough males and females to fit everyone's preferences nor will we know if we have the perfect temperament/ personality for you. The puppies will be professionally temperament tested and the best attempt to match puppy to prospective owner will be made.
Your visits are always welcome too!
Please feel free to contact me for any information about our dogs, purchasing a puppy, or just questions about what it means to have the joy of a standard poodle, or poodles, in your life!
Also.... owner impute is critical if a breeder is to keep track of the quality of their breeding program. Will you be willing to keep in contact with us? We love to hear about how they are doing and of course seeing pictures.
Thank you!
