Choosing a dog can be a difficult process, and
personality has to be taken into consideration.
We want you and your new puppy to be a match made in heaven! This is why we
have designed this Owner Questionnaire, to help us pair you up with exactly the
right puppy for your family.
Why not choose a puppy myself?
Puppies are like babies – they eat, they play and then they spend a lot of time
sleeping. In fact, they are very likely to be asleep just when you are trying to
decide which one is right for you. Because we raise your puppy as part of our
family, we get to see them when they are wide awake, and their personality is
showing itself. We also keenly observe their behavior and conduct
personality typing tests at such times that help us to further
understand their character.
How will the Questionnaire help me get the right puppy?
There are six general types of personalities: aggressive, independent, assertive,
confident, adaptable, and insecure. Each type has its own needs and can be
determined as a puppy.
In the dog world there are Chiefs and Indians. The Chiefs – like they are in the
human world – tend to be the extroverts. They are cheeky, bold, strong-willed
and enjoy being the leader of the pack, or having a strong leader to please and
look up to.
The Indians are more submissive, gentle and introverted. They never challenge
the status quo and like to go with the flow. And they are likely to accept anyone
as their boss – even small children.
Though most people like a dog with a bit of character, it is important that Chiefs
end up with owners who have the confidence to be strong leaders. And it is
equally important for people who are “pushovers “or have small children to end
up with an Indian.
We also consider puppy size, color and coat type with respect to ease of grooming
and other factors. It is very important to us to try and match you up with the
most perfect puppy for you.
