Questionnaire

The following questions are basic concerns that we feel are important to understand when we consider a family for adopting a puppy or adult from Clearview Dachsies.. We are very selective in placing our puppies in the proper home environment, and reserve the right to refuse placement based upon our instinct and validation of the information provided. Please give careful thought to each question and provide your answers to us in an email or by USPS mail.

Our final decision is taking into consideration that we want both the puppy, and you to live a wonderful long and happy life together. If there is are any questions that arise that we may assist in answering prior to submitting the questionnaire – Please feel free to contact us at 641-673-7147 or pamejean@gmail.com! Thank you.

  • Whom may we thank for a reference or how did you find Clearview Dachsies?

  • Describe your lifestyle, and how the puppy will fit in to your family.
  • Are there any family members that have severe allergies, and if so are you certain that dog dander is not an allergen that will cause health issues?
  • Do you have a secure area in your home for the puppy when not supervised?
  • Do you have a fenced in yard or secure method for puppy to go outside?
  • Will you be able to provide at a minimum 30 minutes of exercise for the pet?
  • Have you ever house trained a dog?
  • Have you considered obedience training such as a “puppy class”?
  • Are you considering AKC events – conformation, obedience, agility, rally, or earth dog/field trials?
  • Do you understand the difference between AKC registrations - Full or Limited?
  • Are you considering breeding this puppy?
  • Have you ever surrendered a pet, and what were the circumstances?

Our pet puppies are sold on a spay/neuter contract – which means that written proof must be provided to Clearview Dachsies from the veterinarian that has preformed the spay or neuter of your pet so that the contract/guarantee provided to you at the time of purchase continues to be valid for the lifetime of the pet. At the time proof of spay/neuter is provided to Clearview Dachsies we will then mail the AKC Limited Registration documents for your pet.

Our Adults are sometimes offered on a spay/neuter contract similar to our puppy contract with specific modifications regarding the guarantee, and when proof of the spay/neuter is provided to Clearview Dachsies we release AKC documents for your pet.

Full Registration is offered on puppies that have been carefully evaluated for their potential to compete in AKC Conformation events – the evaluation is done by at least two knowledgeable sources, and that these sources concur that the puppy appears to be correct in accordance with the description outlined in the AKC Miniature Dachshund Standard. Our evaluation does not guarantee a championship for your puppy - that is up to you to compete/complete. All Full Registration Puppies will be co-owned with Clearview Dachsies until the time that they become AKC champions - unless other terms have been determined acceptable prior to the adoption/placement of your puppy on a Full Registration agreement. A specific detailed outline of the terms to the Full Registration Agreement will be provided to our customers that are interested in such an agreement, and each contract is personalized to the individual(s) who will be co-owners with Clearview Dachsies.

Our intention in co-ownership of Full Registration Clearview Dachsies is to ensure that our specific terms are met with regards to showing, and breeding to further improve the miniature dachshund breed.
Thank you for considering Clearview Dachsies for this important decision on adding a new member to your family!

Sincerely,
Pam Van Weelden,
Owner, Clearview Dachsies
