                                                                                                                                          Picture
                                                                                                                                          You might ask, "why fill out one now when there are no puppies yet?" 
                                                                                                                                          It's a good question. The answer is pretty simple - breeders often have full lists of potential "puppy people" long before the breeding ever takes place, and have many of their puppies sold long before they are born
                                                                                                                                          (or even before the breeding happens!).

                                                                                                                                          Plus, if we don't have what you are looking for (or when you are looking for it), your information can help us match you up with other breeders that might have what you need.

                                                                                                                                          Once you find a breeder with dogs that you are interested in, particularly if you are interested in a pup out of a specific breeding, it's helpful to the breeder to have your name long in advance to allow time for the interview and screening process.  And it's helpful to you to know that you are "on the list" for that special litter.

                                                                                                                                          Picture
                                                                                                                                          Here at Gryphon, we don't have a simple list according to "who signs up first".  While a certain amount of priority will go to those who have expressed an early interest, puppies will ALWAYS be placed according to the best fit.  Each puppy has their own unique personality, and we try very hard to match their personality with yours and that of your household and lifestyle.  We are more interested in making the right matches that will last a lifetime than simply sending off the puppies to the first buyer at the door.

                                                                                                                                          Yet it's still to your advantage to be on a list sooner rather than later - that way, we have a chance to get to know you (and you us!), which has a number of advantages for everyone involved.  Also, once a certain number of people have showed a serious interest in a particular litter, we will start referring folks elsewhere so there's aren't an impossible number of people waiting for pups from a single litter :-)  We are more interested in quality than quantity, and so will only have an occasional litter.

                                                                                                                                          What If It Doesn't Work?
