SedgysMiniMe — Puppy Application Form

Welcome — and thank you for your interest

If you'd like to be considered for my Waiting List, please complete this Application Form in the first instance so I can learn about you and the home life you're offering to one of my pups.

Getting to know potential new owners helps me give you the best possible advice, and means I can place my puppies with the most suitable homes to safeguard their future.

Please note: my current Waiting List status changes throughout the year — I'll confirm availability for your preferred breed and timeframe once I've read your application. This form is open to UK homes only.

The form takes around 10–15 minutes. Your answers are saved as you go through each step, so take your time — the more detail you give me, the more helpful I can be in guiding you to the right pup.

Thank you.

9 In Your Own Words

Your time to shine

What are you offering to one of my pups, and what do you want to gain from having one?*

Have you thought about the noise, mess, sleepless nights, chewed possessions, grooming/vet/feeding costs, toilet training, and puppy safety (roads, balconies, traffic)? Do you have a secure garden, or a nearby park? Would you consider an older dog as well as a puppy? Will you need help from a dog walker, doggy day care, family or friends? The more you tell me, the easier it is for me to picture the home you're offering and guide you to the pup who'll suit you best. I'm not being nosy — I just care where my pups end up.

Anything else you'd like to add?

Do you have any questions for me?

10 Declaration & Signature

Almost done — just the formalities

The process

Completing this application is a step towards acquiring a puppy. I'll review it within 2–3 business days — if you don't hear from me, please check your spam folder, as I reply to every completed form. I may come back with follow-up questions; please don't take offence.

Choosing a puppy

Every family wants different things from dog ownership. As I spend the most time with the litter, I'm best placed to guide you towards the right pup, taking your gender and colour preferences into account.

Collection

I can't hold puppies for extended periods — it's important for their social development that they leave within a reasonable timeframe. Collection dates will be made clear early on; please flag any conflicts as soon as possible.

Contract & payment

I won't place a puppy without a signed contract. Deposits (bank transfer or cash) are non-refundable unless something happens to the pup before it leaves me, and full payment must clear before collection.

Neutering

My pups go to pet homes as companions, so I advise neutering at the earliest suitable time. If you're considering breeding, even from just one litter, please tell me now so we can discuss it properly.

No guarantee

Being added to my Waiting List does not guarantee a puppy from this or any future litter. I reserve the right to decline any placement at any time.

I confirm that the information provided in this application is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge.*

I have read and understood the process outlined above, including that joining the Waiting List does not guarantee a puppy.*
