Overview
Buyer screening works best when breeders ask practical questions that reveal fit, expectations, and readiness. The goal is not interrogation for sport. The goal is to understand whether the buyer can succeed with the puppy they want.
Useful topics
- Why this breed and why now
- Daily schedule and time alone
- Children, other pets, and household dynamics
- Training plans and exercise expectations
- Budget and commitment to veterinary care
What answers reveal
The quality of the answer matters as much as the content. Thoughtful buyers usually sound thoughtful. People shopping for a decorative impulse purchase tend to wave red flags like they are directing airplanes.
Practical note
Standard questions make comparisons easier and keep your process fair.
