Adult Dog Interview — Morgen Haus Shepherds

Thank you for your interest in one of our dogs! It is critical to us to be sure that each dog we have painstakingly raised is placed in a forever home that is prepared to care for him/her properly. As with any dog, owning a German Shepherd is a tremendous, long-term responsibility, not a purchase to be made on impulse. While the rewards are well worth the effort, it requires commitment on your part to care and train them to create a wonderful companion.

The information provided below will be used to help us be sure that ensure that the caregiver, home, and household are a good match. The information will not be shared or used for any other purpose.

A few last words... did you know?

* Bad behavior can happen with all dogs: you might have to work to resolve problems like digging, barking, jumping, shedding, fearfulness or aggression. Are you committed to working to resolve these types of issues?
* Dog food costs money, and good dog food costs quite a bit of money. Vet bills do happen, and these expenses can make the purchase price of your dog seem cheap. Make sure caring for a dog is within your budget!

I understand the above 'warning label' and am prepared to move forward!
