Puppy Questionnaire

Getting a Puppy

Our puppy questionnaire is written to open discussion, and direct questions about life with a norrbottenspets.

Puppies are sold on a Canadian Kennel Club non-breeding contract. If you want your puppy for breeding they must attain a title, pass required health tests, and be three years of age for the non-breeding contract to be lifted.
