If No, how do you plan to adequately train your pup?

Many breeders are happy to just sell you a pup and not be in contact with their buyers. We are not that type of breeder. We pride ourselves in keeping wonderful relationships with our puppy people,by email, phone, visits, lots of picture sharing. We want to maintain open communication with our homes. This is extremely important to us. If you are not willing to continue with a life long relationship, we are not the type of breeders for you.

Are you willing to share pictures, contact us for training advice, health advice for the life of your Toller?

Yes
No

What is your expectation of a breeder?

Where did you hear about Rainkist Tollers and why are you interested in a puppy from us?

Have you been placed on any waiting lists from other breeders? If so, who?

Thank you for taking the time to complete our Puppy Questionnaire. This helps us select the appropriate homes for the current puppy plans we have. Our selection of homes varies from breeding to breeding. We do not select homes on first come basis and we do not select which puppy goes to which home, until all matters to proper placement criteria is met, typically after 8 weeks of age. We will notify you if we wish to meet you in person, or over the phone once we have reviewed the Questionnaire.
