Puppy Interview — Morgen Haus Shepherds

Thank you for your interest in our puppies! Our wonderful puppies are raised amidst a multi-generational home, with each litter receiving interaction with the different ages within our household. They are carefully introduced to the world around them through a wide range of positive experiences designed to provide a strong basis for sound temperament. It is critical to us to be sure that each puppy 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 for care and training to create the wonderful companion your puppy has the potential to become.

The information provided below will be used to help us match you to just the right puppy, and to be sure that we are comfortable with the home we are placing our puppy into. The information will not be shared or used for any other purpose.

A few last words... did you know?

* Puppies, like human babies, put everything in their mouths and are not safely left alone to roam the house or yard freely?
* Bad behavior happens: 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 puppy seem cheap. Make sure caring for a dog is within your budget!

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