You will find our German shepherd puppy pre-purchase questionnaire on this page. If you email us seeking a German shepherd puppy and we have done a breeding, confirmed a pregnancy or have German shepherd puppies already born and still available, we will ask that you copy and paste the questionnaire in an email so that you can answer it and return it. We do have a pc that will open it as a Word doc, but it is easier if you just send it in an email as we are working on a Mac now. This would be the first step in acquiring a Sander-Haus German shepherd puppy. Please send an initial contact email before taking the time to fill this out as we may not have done a breeding. These questions help us to the best of our ability determine if one of our puppies will fit in to your home situation and if the German shepherd puppy will be happy and in turn if you will be happy with the German shepherd puppy. These questions may seem personal but they are necessary. We do not need your complete address at this time. We do not sell puppies to everyone who wants one thus we need this information at some point, before we reserve a puppy for you. We will be up front with you and make suggestions that may help things work but sometimes it does not. That does not mean that you are a bad person, nor a bad home, it may just mean that at a particular time in your life, the German shepherd breed may not be a match for you.  
Please read our "FAQ's" page.
Thank you.
