                                                      ABOUT THE PUPPY QUESTIONAIRE

If you are thinking about purchasing a Cedar-Creek puppy, we want to thank you for your consideration.
We know that you have researched your options, and you have learned that we work very hard to breed
the very finest quality pups possible, genetically sound, athletic, intelligent, pleasant in appearance,
with excellent learning attitudes. Our pups are handled and played with for the first 49 days with us. By
the time you receive your Cedar-Creek puppy, he/she has been exposed to all types of surfaces, noises
and sights. Your pup has been exposed to doves and been swimming in the pond (weather permitting).
Your pup has been on walks in the field and taken for drives in the SUV to the vet and around the
property. Your pup has been on solid food for at least 2 weeks and has had all age appropriate shots
and wormings.
Cedar-Creek pups are always members of our family, and by filling out this questionnaire, you are
accepting the responsibility of lifelong care for your dog and if for any reason you can no longer care
for your pup, your pup will be welcome back to Cedar-Creek, no questions asked.

We feel our pups are special, and want their new homes to be special also. Our pups will need love and
attention and training. Pups do not learn good behavior on their own, they will need proper direction.
They will need to be taught to be valued members of the family. You must be willing to devote a
substantial number of hours to caring for and training your new pup, or arrange to have someone do
the training for you.

The questionnaire will give you an idea of what we consider important. After we have read the
questionnaire we will help you determine which litter would be right for your family. Our goal is to
produce a well rounded pup that would fit into every family and enjoy every activity. Our pups are calm,
but excitable, accepting, fun, healthy, happy and outgoing. We want all of our pups to know "no"
strangers, and to enjoy all activities, whether it be swimming at the beach, out on the boat, in the
hunting family, the obedience ring or the conformation ring, a jogging partner or a friend that will sit
quietly and listen to you. Each pup will be evaluated for your needs as he/she begins to develop their
personality. We let each family pick their own pup, we only assist you with our knowledge of your pups
personality and aptitude. This questionnaire is designed to try to bring the awareness of the
responsibilities of owning a dog. We deal with these issues on a daily basis, and would choose no other
life. Our labs have made our lives richer and fuller. We want you to have the same experience.
If you do not wish to fill out the questionnaire, please feel free to call or come to our home.
