Why do you want a Bullmastiff?  Have you done any research on the breed? (ie. reading, talking to other breeders, attending dog shows.)

Have you had dogs before?  If so, what happened to them?

Veterinary and personal reference (these should relate to your experience with dogs.)

Do you presently have any pets? What are they?  If you have dog(s), what is the breed, age and sex, and is it spayed or neutered?

If you are requesting a show puppy, do you have any experience in the show ring?  If not, would you be willing to attend handling classes, hire a professional handler, or allow me to show the dog for you?

If you are requesting a pet quality puppy, will you accept the puppy on a AKC Limited Registration, which means the dog cannot be bred or shown in conformation?

If you have requested a pet quality puppy, and there is only a show prospect available, would you be willing to purchase a show pup and allow me to show it for you at my expense?

Are you willing to attend at least eight weeks of obedience training with your dog?

Do you work?  What is the normal daily schedule of the adults in your home?

Do you have any children?  What are their ages?  If you do not have children but are planning them in the near future, will you make a commitment to continue caring for the dog once the new baby arrives?

Do you plan on using a crate for housebreaking (highly recommended)?

Would you like the printed material I have on the subject?

Do you have a fenced-in yard?

If no, please explain how you will exercise your dog?

Bullmastiffs are not extreme weather dogs, their facial structure makes the summer heat a danger for them and the short coats do not provide adequate protection in the winter.  Are you prepared to have your dog live indoors?

Please share any other information about your family and your reasons for wanting a Bullmastiff that will assist me in placing one of our puppies with you.  It is of the utmost importance to me that everyone (especially the Bullmastiff) be happy with this placement and that it be a permanent one.
