Default Questions so far....

Here is my list of questions so far. Let me know if there are any others I should add. I know that sometimes people are not the most honest about dogs that they are rehoming dogs so I'll be checking him out pretty well. I know what bad teeth and bad grooming look like but I have no idea how to check for luxating patella, hip displaysia, etc.

Why are you giving the dog up?
Has the dog ever bitten anyone or shown any aggression?
Who is the vet and can you call to have his medical records released?
What’s the dog’s medical history?
Can I have the dog examined by my veterinarian?
Obedience training?
Grooming habits and regiment?
Diet? What does he currently eat, is he open fed or fed at certain times?
Is he potty trained for out doors, peed pad trained, d=need some work?
What is his potty schedule?
Check ears, eyes, nose, coat, teeth.
How does the dog interact with or be around young kids?
Is the dog neutered (male)?
Does the dog seem to know any commands?
Is the dog possessive of food or toys?
Does he walk well on a leash? (ill be taking him on a walk)
Where does he sleep at night? Is he crate trained?
Crate training, does he willingly go in?
Would you say he is submissive, dominant or neutral?
Any noted health concerns that may require additional treatment - bad teeth, age, heart worm, etc.
Up to date on shots?
Any other things I should know about the dog?
