Wetterhoun Puppy Application Form

First, thank you for your interest! The waiting time for a Wetterhoun puppy varies throughout the year. However, if you are hoping to add a puppy to your family within a few months, this may not be the right breed for you.

This questionnaire is designed to help the UKSA identify if a Wetterhoun is the right breed for you, and to help breeders understand what kind of home you can offer to one of their precious puppies. Short answers and a lack of enthusiasm is unlikely to paint a very appealing picture, so please take your time in completing each section. It is our experience that the most detailed and passionate applications will be offered a puppy sooner than those with short or missing answers.

The decision to sell a puppy to anyone on our waiting list ultimately lies with the breeders. By completing this form, you agree for the UKSA to keep and send a copy of it to relevant breeders.

On allocation of a puppy you will ask that you join the UK Stabyhoun Association which costs £20 for one year, however the first year you will be asked to pay £50 for the first three years membership and is, amongst other things, a small contribution towards the extensive effort that goes into selecting every single Wetterhoun puppy for families in the UK. You can read more about membership benefits on our website.

By completing this form, you are agreeing that you are happy for your details to be stored by the UKSA and shared with potential Breeders.

Would you be interested in breeding with your Wetterhoun if he or she was deemed suitable? Please note that, with this breed, many families simply let their dog have a single litter for the experience and to benefit the population. Breeding, to us, does not entail an ongoing commitment. If you are unsure about what is required for a male OR female to be allowed to breed, please read our guidelines first before agreeing, as breeders will take this firmly into consideration: https://stabyhounuk.com/breeding-guidelines/

Have you ever bred a dog/raised a litter of puppies before?

Would you be interested in a puppy from the Netherlands or Denmark from a UKSA approved breeder if such became available first, or are you only interested in one born in the UK? Please carefully consider the journey to both countries which will have to be made by car, before replying

How long are you willing to wait for a puppy?

Please provide any additional information about yourself, your family, reasons for wanting a Wetterhoun puppy and anything else you can think of which might be relevant. Remember that it is the individual breeder who, in the end, decides who they wish to sell a puppy to and sometimes, having a detailed picture of the home you are offering and your enthusiasm for this unique breed makes all the difference.
