Every application begins with a basic questionnaire, which lets us get to know you and your household, including what your daily schedule is like, and learn about any other pets you may own. It also allows us to learn about your past experience with dogs and other animals/species and how that experience can translate into preparing you to own one of our wolfdogs. This questionnaire also enables us to verify where you live, so that we can double check the legality of wolfdog ownership in your country, state or province, county, city, township, neighborhood, etc.
Once the application questionnaire is completed and you have submitted it and have emailed us any supporting documents (such as proof of residence, relevant licenses or permits, photos and videos of your fencing and containment, etc.), we will review your application and discuss any questions or concerns that either we, as the Breeder, or you, as the Applicant, may have. This may include a phone call or Skype/Zoom interview, as well.
If it turns out that you live in an area where a permit or license is required to own wolfdogs, then you are required to go through the process of obtaining the permit/license BEFORE we proceed any further.
As long as it looks like you might be a good fit for the litter or individual wolfdog that you are applying for, we will need current photos and video walkthroughs of your yard fencing and outdoor wolfdog-proof containment. Outdoor containment is mandatory for all of our owners, even if your goal is for the wolfdog to live indoors. We are always happy to offer advice and brainstorm ideas with you on how you can install new appropriate fencing, or reinforce your existing fencing, so that your yard and containment is able to properly and safely contain a wolfdog. This means it needs to be impossible for the wolfdog to dig, jump, climb, chew, or otherwise escape. Secure containment and yards where the wolfdog will be off-leash are VERY important!
