Silversmith Weimaraners
Puppy questionnaire
Date______
Our Weimaraners go to their new homes between 7-8 wks of age. These puppies have been well cared for and well socialized. The pups go on long walks on our farm so that they are confident, happy puppies. We supply medical record, and a folder of information for training puppy along with membership application to the Weimaraner Club of America. Our puppies are graded at this age by a group of unbiased show and field breeders. Show pups go by contract to homes committed to completing the puppy’s championship. Pet pups go to homes on AKC Limited Registration (cannot show or breed); at some future date if the owner wants to show the pup, the Limit can be lifted.
We stand by our dogs for their entire lifetime. If something goes wrong they will always be welcome to come back to us. We do not allow them to be sent to other homes unless we have pre approved it. We will either keep or rehome a pup we produced.
This questionnaire helps me decide which pups should go to which homes.
The puppies AKC registered name will eventually be:
Silversmith...... rest is your choice ...... (total 36 letters) we usually have a Theme for the litter. If we have a name theme for the litter I will send a list of suggested names.
They will be ready for their new homes when they are 7-8 wks old at which time we will have a Puppy Supper (Celebration party) here on our farm.
[FYI – I co own all bitch puppies until they are either spayed or bred. Bitches cannot be bred until they are 3 yrs old, have finished their Ch and have had health clearances including hips certified free of HD.]
