Mountain Thyme Westies Puppy Questionnaire 

 One of our main goals is finding the best homes for our puppies, and this involves getting to know potential new owners. Below is a questionnaire that we ask everyone interested in a puppy to fill out. Please email us your completed questionnaire to: mountainthymewesties@gmail.com     

1. What made you decide on a west highland terrier? Do you have experience with the breed?  
2. Describe your home dynamics- who lives in the home (including pets), how many hours the puppy would be left alone a day (for home members to go to work, school, etc.)  
3. Would you be attending training classes with your puppy? Would you be crate training your puppy?  
4. Describe how you would keep your dog in your yard- i.e. fenced in, on a leash, or invisible fence? 
5. Would you be looking to breed or show your dog, or strictly a pet?   
6. Would you be open to an in-home screening?   
7. Can you provide a personal and veterinary reference?  
8. If you do not currently have a pet, do you have a vet lined up who can see your puppy?
9. Are you willing to sign a contract stating that if you needed to rehome your dog for any reason, you would contact us first to help you?  
10. Are you hoping for a male or female puppy, or have no preference?  
11. Are you looking for a puppy now or in the future?   
12. Please provide us with your name, email and/or phone number, and your location (you do NOT need to send your full address, city and state is fine).
