Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions

grea list of questions shalocaboxers the only thing i would add is about children and making sure they now not to pick pup up (ok a boxer pup maybe to big by then) and that pups need to be left to sleep.

but other wise very good and i have pinched a few off you (i hope you dont mind)

No worries Natalie

Regarding your point about kids and pups, I would have that conversation face to face with a prospective owner, but I see where you are coming from
I use the questionaire just as a start point when someone first enquires about pups, just to give me a rough idea of the enquirers circumstances and the environment the pup would be going to.
