DOG FAQ - Why does the breeder ask so many questions?

The serious breeder cares about the puppies and wants to make sure that the puppy goes to the best home. You might be asked questions about yourself and your family, the type of home you live in (apartment, townhouse, house, etc.), if the yard is fenced, previous dogs you have owned among other things. This may seem personal but the breeder has a genuine interest in placing the puppy in the best home. The serious breeder considers this an adoption process, not the selling of a product. On the other hand, you should be asking the breeder questions also.
