This questionnaire is for the mutual benefit of you, the prospective owner, me as the seller/breeder and the Golden Retriever you plan to have as a member of your family.
It does not constitute a contract on my part to provide you with a puppy, nor does it obligate you to take one.
Your answers to the questions are not the only factor in the determination of your suitability as a Golden Retriever owner.
