Donegal Australian Shepherds Puppy Questionnaire

First of all, we want to thank you for your interest in becoming a great home for one of our puppies. We have set up this form for you to fill out and submit as a means of getting acquainted with folks who are interested in our puppies and so that we may better match up puppies with families with a greater possibility of success for a happy life together.

Please feel free to make your answers as long or as short as you would like. We do not ask these questions with the intent to be nosey, but to better match puppies with available homes.
