The PWD has a small gene pool and therefore has several genetic health concerns. Would you be willing to participate in genetic studies of our dogs? This may include such things as taking cheek swabs, collection of blood samples, x-rays, and necropsy. Funding may or may not be available to pay for the more expensive of these procedures. This does not commit you to participation, I would just like to know if you would be open to participating in these studies.
Yes
No
Maybe- but I don't quite understand this question!

Thanks for answering these questions! Please click on the "submit" button and I will respond as soon as possible A note on our waiting list: This form does NOT put you on our waiting list. After we chat, if we both decide that one of our pups would be good for your family, we will place you on our waiting list after we receive your deposit (which is deducted from the total price of the pup. If it turns out that we do not have a pup from the reserved litter that meets your needs, we will refund your deposit or you may transfer your deposit to another of our litters. However, if you just change your mind or decide to get a pup from someone else, we will keep your deposit since we will have turned other people away. If we can place the pup we may, totally at our discretion, refund your deposit anyway. However, that is NOT guaranteed.
