Krystal Zima Samoyeds ~ Puppy Questionnaire

Krystal Zima Samoyeds – Puppy Questionnaire
(page updated January 2, 2024) We are currently in the planning phase of our next breeding, which should happen in early 2024. If you would like to be considered for one of our future puppies, please fill out the questionnaire to begin a dialogue. If you fill out the questionnaire, please answers ALL of the below questions. We do not keep a first come first served ranked waiting list, and where people fall on the list will be determined by a number of factors. This questionnaire has multiple purposes. First and foremost, it is the first step in my getting to know you to determine if your home will be a good fit for one of our puppies. My top priority is to place each pup with the best family for them. Second, knowing about your family and your lifestyle will help me to pair the right puppy for your family. Please remember; this is NOT a first come first served arrangement. I have the right to refuse to place a puppy with anyone I choose, for any reason I see fit. The pups are my first priority. If you are serious about wanting a puppy, I recommend you fill out the questionnaire honestly, and with as much detail as possible. I am not trying to be nosy about your life. I am trying to ensure my pups will go to the best home possible for them. Please email questionnaire to: (the email is not "clickable".
