How did you hear of Kicking K?
We have a strong policy on bringing a dog back to us if you can no longer keep the dog. We want to insure that our dogs are NOT passed around or end up in a shelter. Please know that we do understand things can happen and for this reason we want to make sure you understand we want the dog to come back to us if something comes up. If this happens and you know of a friend/family member who can take the dog thats fine, as long as they understand that if the dog doesnt fit we will TAKE our dog back at ANY AGE. If the dog is placed with a friend/family member we ask to be kept in the loop and given the proper info to keep up with our puppy. I LOVE each and everyone of my puppies and I am the SOLE reason they are here, It's my duty to protect them no matter what. Please Acknowledge you understand this and are okay with following threw with this if that time comes.
Have you ever owned an Aussie before?
Do you have animals now, if so which animals?
What is your housing situation? How many children are in the home? What are the ages of the children?
Is your yard fenced in? If NOT, please explian the living situation the dog will be in once at your home.
How often do you travel, or leave for an extended amount of time?
Aussies require grooming & They shed year round. Are you aware of this and up for the task of grooming & dealing with shedding.
When looking for a dog what made you choose the Australian Shepherd?
We work hard to place our puppies in the right homes. Are you set on a certain gender/color? If we dont have the gender/color pup you want that we feel will fit you are you open to another gender/color. Remember the best dogs are not determined by color!
All of our “pet/companion only” puppies are sold on spay/neuter contracts and limited/non-breeding registration. They are still eligible for fun dog sports and competitions to win titles. Are you comfortable with this? If not, please explain.
If you rent, do you have the landlord’s permission to keep a dog?
Are you currently on a waiting list for other litters?
Have you ever given away a dog to a friend, family member, or shelter? If so, why? (Please don’t be afraid to answer this question. It is not an automatic deal breaker. We can discuss further if necessary.)
We follow our puppy’s progress and stay in touch with our extended aussie families, via email, text, phone, and/or Facebook. This feedback is EXTREMELYimportant to us. If you acquire a dog from us will you keep in contact with us? Please elaborate on how you feel about this practice.
How much exercise can you provide daily?
What are your thoughts on crate training? Please explain why you feel the way you do about crate training.
How long have you been looking?
