8.How much of the time would the pup/dog be able to spend with you or a family member?

9.If left alone in a large area for excessive periods of time Mini Aussies may resort to barking, digging or other undesirable behavior. If you must be gone for long periods at times, describe a secure, cozy, comfortable place where the dog will stay so that it will not become a neighborhood nuisance?

Approx how much time will the dog spend indoors?          Outdoors?

Blue Merle(_)  , Red Merle(_) , Red Tri(_) , Black Tri(_) , Red Bi(_) , Black Bi(_)

18.Do you prefer   male(  )     female(  )     no preference (  )

19.Mini Aussies range in size from as small as 14” tall to 18” tall. Do you have a particular size in mind?
Just how important is that to you?

20.Occasionally, a larger puppy could go slightly over the 18” height described in the breed standard and I cannot guarentee that a puppy will not go over 18 iches in height. Would that be a problem if that were to occur?

21.Although a well groomed Mini Aussie which is fed a quality diet usually does NOT have “doggy” odor or excessive dander, are you aware that Mini Aussies may shed heavily at certain times of the year (usually in the Spring or Fall). Is that a problem with you?

22.Mini Aussies are well known for their wonderful intelligence and versatility. Do you have an interest in any of the following?

26.If you plan to breed, do you agree to abide by the MASCA/NAMASCUSA code of ethics, which includes clearing eyes and submitting x-rays for OFA rating before breeding and to plan your breeding only to further enhance the breed?

27.Occasionally I have a pup of outstanding quality for which I would want you the buyer to Show in some sort of Venue being Conformation, Agility, Obedience, ect. I for sure would like the buyer to try to make this quality of pup a UKC,MASCA or NAMASCUSA Champion and to have all clearances done if intended on breeding at the age of two or older. Also I would expect the buyer to socalize the pup so that the pup does not become shy in any way by taking the pup to a puppy class of some sort. The dog may be held in a co-ownership until the obligation would be fulfilled at which time I would sign off of the co-ownership. Would you be interested Yes ( )     No ( )     Comments
