Swissmount Farms Puppy Application
First and foremost, thank you for your interest in a Swissmount Farms puppy! Although this application is a bit lengthy, it is not intended to be intimidating. The information provided from this application will help us determine the best homes for our puppies and the best puppy for your home and family. Our hope is that the questions on this application will only provide honest information, promote research and informed decision making in regards to adding a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog to your family. Please be honest and provide us with as much information as you can regarding your experience and history with dogs.
Swissmount Farm puppies are sold for $2500(CAD funds). All shipping costs are extra, and are the responsibility of the puppy buyer. Owners are strongly encouraged to travel and pick up their new puppy in person. All puppies are sold on a contract. Puppies will be CKC registered, micro-chipped, will have their first set of vaccinations, and be examined by a veterinarian prior to leaving our home. Puppies will be ready to go to their new homes between 9-12 weeks of age. Swissmount Farms will also give a rebate of $250 (CAD funds) to owners who chose to purchase puppy/dog health insurance starting no later than 4 months of age and up to 2 years old. We strongly encourage owners to take advantage of this rebate offer.
