Application

Apply for a Qubits puppy

Thank you for your interest in a Qubits Spanish Water Dog. This application takes about twenty to thirty minutes and it helps me get to know you, your household, and what you hope to share with a dog over the next twelve to fifteen years. Service dog applicants: please apply early, because training runs more than a year after go-home. Applying does not commit you to anything, and we answer every application.

How I match puppies to homes

I do not assign puppies in the order applications or deposits arrive. Each puppy’s temperament, energy level, and drive are evaluated as the litter develops, and each puppy is matched to the home where it is most likely to thrive. A confident, high-drive puppy may be ideal for an agility or herding home and a poor fit for a quiet household, and the reverse is just as true. The more you tell me about your life, your goals, and your expectations, the better that match will be.

There are no wrong answers. An honest description of a busy schedule or a small yard is far more useful to me than the answer you think I want to read.

What happens after you apply

  1. I review every application personally and will reply within two to three days.
  2. If we seem to be a good fit, we will schedule a phone or video conversation so you can ask questions about the breed, my dogs, and my program.
  3. Approved applicants are placed on my waiting list for an upcoming litter once I receive their deposit.
  4. Puppies are evaluated using the Volhard Puppy Aptitude Test at 49 days, matches are confirmed, and puppies go home at 10 weeks of age.

Submitting this application does not obligate you to purchase a puppy, and approval does not guarantee one from a particular litter. Your information is used only to evaluate your application and is never shared.

Activity Level

Rate your family’s activity level on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is a stay-at-home couch potato and 10 is a triathlete, and explain your rating. For example: Do you jog daily or climb mountains on weekends? Do you play soccer, or watch a game once a week? Do you have a swimming pool? Do you spend summers at a lake or the ocean? Do you hunt, bicycle, or cross-country ski?

Please answer thoughtfully. Your answer tells me two things: how your dog will get exercise, and which puppy’s energy level is the best fit for your family.

Life With Your Puppy
SWDs are people-focused and do not do well alone for long stretches. An honest answer helps us match you.

No dog is 100% hypoallergenic. We can arrange visits with adult SWDs if needed.
