Puppy Inquiry

Puppy questionnaire

Tell us about your family

Completing this questionnaire is the first step to joining our waitlist for an Amistosa Havanese puppy.

Before a puppy leaves our home, it has been well cared for and socialized. The puppy does not go to its new family as a trained, well-mannered finished product. It is up to the puppy buyer to complete the job we have started. The new owner is responsible for the further development of the puppy’s personality, through structured discipline, training, guidance and love.

In an effort to ensure that our puppies are going to receive the love and care they will require throughout their lives, I ask all potential buyers to complete this questionnaire. If you wish to be put on our waiting list you must complete and return the questionnaire to us. At least one visit to our home to meet us and our dogs is expected. Additional visits as the puppies grow are encouraged and can always be arranged.

Questions marked * are required. Follow-up questions appear when they apply to you. Your answers are only used to review your application.

    Our puppies are sold under a non-breeding agreement with Limited Registration. Limited Registration simply means that the puppy is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club and can compete in agility and obedience but not in conformation. Since puppies purchased from Amistosa Havanese are primarily purchased as companion dogs by owners who have no interest in breeding or showing, Limited Registration has no bearing on these dogs or their owners. Should an owner decide to become involved in breeding/showing in the future, and the dog is deemed to be breeding/showing quality, the option for Amistosa Havanese to reverse the registration and allow Full Registration is available at our sole discretion.
