Puppy Application

I put a lot of thought into creating this questionnaire and shared it with trusted friends and mentors for feedback. The most common comment I received was, ‘It’s too many questions.’ To my future puppy owners—I’m not sorry about that. Every question has a purpose. I need to know who I’m placing a puppy with and who will be shaping that puppy’s life.

As the Beauceron gains popularity, we’re seeing more of them end up in rescue than ever before. That is heartbreaking—and preventable. It matters deeply to me that I’m not setting one of my puppies up for failure, and equally, that I’m not sending you a puppy who might not be what you truly need or expect.

This isn’t about discouraging anyone. I love seeing passionate, committed people join this breed and embrace them for who they are. If you’re serious about welcoming one of my puppies, I just ask that you take the time to thoughtfully complete the questionnaire. It was made with love and responsibility—for the well-being of both my puppies and their future families.❤️ 

Thank you for considering RiverStyx Beaucerons—we look forward to the opportunity to share our passion and our pups with you!
