Before acquiring a new puppy, thought needs to be given as to how the puppy will fit into your lifestyle, home, and family.  This questionnaire is designed to help you make important decisions prior to purchasing a puppy and to assist us in placing the right puppy with you.  This will enable us to match each puppy with the proper home based on the prospective owner's lifestyle and environment and the puppy's personality and abilities.  With this in mind, please answer all questions with as much detail as possible.  All information is strictly confidential and will be used only by Fuji American Eskimos. 

Where it states: "Please Select One" you MUST select one of the options, or upon submitting the form you will be returned to the questionnaire and will have to start over again.
