I don't even talk to a potential buyer til they have filled out a questionnaire. It helps to have some info on who they are and what they are looking for , Plus it also helps me to formulate other questions that I may have that wasn't covered in my questionnaire.
Like now for example I had an email this morning from someone interested in the girl I'm not keeping back and left her phone number. So I emailed the questionnaire to her and asked her to fill it out and send it back along with any questions she may have. If she sends it back then I will call.

Questionnaire - Not being a Credit Check Coporation - A piece of paper tells me nothing - I want up close and personal. I won't even answer e-mails (other than tell them to call) If someone doesn't pick up the phone and call, it tell me than they don't take this breeder research serious enough. That phone call also gives me the opportunity to ask questions to see how educated they are in the yorkshire terrier.

I loved your post. It was comforting to read and it gave me support for sleeping on the couch for the past week to make sure everything is well with my Trixie and her new puppies.
