Puppy Questionnaire

GOLD CREEK RANCH

We'd Love to Get to Know You

Choosing a Gold Creek Ranch Border Collie is about much more than joining a waiting list.

It's the beginning of a relationship.

Our Puppy Questionnaire helps us learn about you, your family, your experience, and your hopes for your future Border Collie. In turn, it allows us to thoughtfully match each puppy with the home where they are most likely to thrive.

There is no obligation in completing the questionnaire, and filling it out does not guarantee the purchase of a puppy.

Rather, it begins the conversation and helps us determine whether Gold Creek Ranch Border Collies is the right fit for you – and whether we are the right fit for your family.

Before You Begin

Before completing the Puppy Questionnaire, please be sure to first read the following pages:

 

These resources answer many of the questions prospective owners have about our breeding program, puppy development philosophy, reservation process, and what to expect when bringing home a Gold Creek Ranch Border Collie.

Please Take Your Time

We genuinely enjoy reading your responses.

The more you share with us, the better we can understand what you're looking for in a Border Collie and how we can help match you with the right puppy.

Thoughtful, detailed answers are far more helpful than brief one-word responses.

We're interested in learning about:

  • Your experience with Border Collies or other dogs

  • Your lifestyle and home environment

  • What you hope to do with your future Border Collie

  • The qualities that are most important to you

  • Why you feel a Gold Creek Ranch Border Collie is the right fit for your family

 

There are no "perfect" answers—we simply appreciate honesty and openness.

Choosing the Right Puppy

Every puppy is an individual.

While many families have preferences regarding color, markings, or gender, our first priorities have always been temperament, health, intelligence, soundness, and working ability.

Our goal is to help you find the puppy whose personality and natural strengths best complement your goals and lifestyle.

That's why we spend so much time getting to know both our puppies and our puppy families.

Before You Submit

If possible, please complete the questionnaire on a computer rather than a mobile device.

Once you've submitted your questionnaire, we recommend sending Suzy a quick text or leaving a voicemail letting her know it's been completed. Occasionally technology isn't perfect, and we'd never want to miss the opportunity to connect with you.

CONTACT INFORMATION

WE WOULD LIKE TO LEARN A BIT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR PLANS FOR YOUR BORDER COLLIE PUPPY.

Have you or do you currently own a Border Collie?
What do you plan on doing with your Border Collie?
If you are wanting your pup to be a service dog, please select which type of service dog:

Are you willing and can commit to participate in our 2-3 month puppy development class? This class is designed for our Border Collie puppies and it will ensure that your beautifully bred, very well started new family member will have the best possible start in your home. At the end of the course you and your puppy will have an unbreakable bond and the best mannered, calm and obedience trained puppy by you via reward based games that teach both of you how to be perfect for you and your family.  


We have several years of clients who would be happy to share with you their experiences with us and our puppy program. Even top trainers in dog sports have tried our class because they wanted a pup from us even though they felt this was a worthless endeavor. They started using the protocols on their other dogs within days of starting the program. Approximately $150 for the course and if you complete I will refund half of the fee.


For more information about the class feel free to contact me and I’ll happily share the fun you will have and the positive results you will be rewarded with.


If not interested in investing in your puppies best outcome for its future with you please do not continue this application.

Yes, I am willing to commit to participating in your 2-3 month puppy development class.
Do you have a fenced yard?
Do you live on a ranch or a farm?

For non-breeding homes: We find there is little to no difference in male vs female puppies as far as disposition, training, and suitability. We do see different personality types from pup to pup (some are more outgoing than others, some show a stronger drive instinct than others, etc.), but these differences are not related to the sex of the pup. Please understand we have no control over how many males / females are born in a litter thus we may not have a pup available in a particular sex from a specific litter. Due to the number of people on our waiting list, as a general rule we are no longer able to move someone from the wait list from one litter to the next based on gender preference. If you are only interested in a specific sex of pup, please call Suzy to discuss.

What Happens Next?

Once we receive your completed Puppy Questionnaire, we'll take the time to carefully review your responses.

If we believe Gold Creek Ranch Border Collies may be a good fit for your family, Suzy will personally reach out to continue the conversation, answer your questions, and learn more about what you're hoping for in your future Border Collie.

Because we receive many inquiries throughout the year, response times can vary, but every questionnaire is personally reviewed.

If possible, we recommend sending Suzy a quick text or leaving a voicemail after submitting your questionnaire, simply letting her know it's been completed. Occasionally technology isn't perfect, and we'd never want to miss the opportunity to connect with you.

We Look Forward to Meeting You

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about yourself.

Choosing a Border Collie is an important decision, and choosing the right breeder is equally important. We don't take either responsibility lightly.

Whether you're looking for a trusted ranch partner, a Search & Rescue prospect, a competitive sport dog, or simply an extraordinary companion, we're honored you've considered Gold Creek Ranch Border Collies.

We look forward to getting to know you and helping you determine whether one of our puppies is the right addition to your family.
