Tibetan Mastiff Puppy Buyer Questionnaire



Thank you in advance for taking the time to provide me with this information! The placement of each puppy is too important not to ask these questions. Please fill out the questionnaire IN FULL.

Due to large number of questionnaires that are received, those with blank or missing information will not be considered.

Please note!! A securely fenced yard with a physical fence is a requirement for me to consider placing a puppy in your home. A kennel run located in your otherwise unfenced yard is NOT sufficient.

I feel that electronic, invisible / underground fencing is also not suitable for this breed.
