BRYNMOOR IRISH SETTERS   

BrynMoor's Puppy Questionnaire

Thank you for taking the time to fill-out the questionnaire. There are no right or wrong answers.  Your feedback helps establish the basis for your wanting to welcome a companion (of the four legged variety) into your family. These questions are asked to establish your commitment and to help you realize the changes your household will undergo when the puppy arrives. Rainy days and muddy feet, vacations, work schedules, feeding schedules, vet visits, training, grooming, exercise, obedience classes, yard clean-up -- these are all activities that will be added to the schedule your family is already maintaining.  Welcoming  a dog into your life is an important decision in which the entire family needs to be involved.  Irish Setters are very devoted and they will insist on becoming full-fledged family members--to grant them anything less will make them miserable. So, these questions may prove somewhat thought provoking but, then, that's why I'm asking.... 

Use "TAB" to go from one field to the next field -- using the "ENTER" key will send the form to me before it is completed.
