Question Number 1:

If you bought a new puppy, would you want it microchipped?

165 Yes

26 No

Ok, ok, so definitely an overwhelming percentage of people want their new puppies microchipped!

Question Number 2:

Would you prefer your documents and paperwork in hard copy or digital copy, or both?

113 Both

43 Hard Copy

33 Digital

This one surprised me a bit, I expected to see more people wanting just a digital copy over a hard copy, but it looks like there’s a lot of demand for both.

Question Number 3:

Would you prefer to (A) purchase your own puppy supplies, would you want them (B) included in the price of your new puppy, or would you prefer to order (C) just the supplies you want at an additional cost from the breeder.

120 A

36 B

32 C

Would you believe it? According to this, by far and away, most of your new puppy parents want to buy their own supplies!
