Would you be willing & able to care for a special needs AKK (i.e. one with a health issue or other defect)?
Do you have any concerns regarding your ability to bring an AKK into your home?
The AKK community is very close knit and I would like to hear about the puppies that I have placed. This could include sharing stories, photos, updates, etc. about your AKK. If I were to place a puppy with you, would you be willing to remain in contact with me?
The Alaskan Klee Kai are a rare breed. As a conscientious breeder, I would require a Qualifying Exam be done to every puppy that is placed from my kennel. This is to be done by a vet (some exceptions made for pet placement). I would also need to know if any genetic defects, health issues, or tempermant issues arise with your AKK. Will you be willing to communicate this information?
Part of my contract states that you will return your AKK to me, if, for any reason, you are no longer able to care for him or her. Are you able to abide by this?
Please list any questions or concerns you may have for me.
