Montagna del Mare Puppy Waitlist Application

Information: As a responsible breeder, we want to make sure that our puppies only go to the best possible homes. Please understand that this is the first step in the process of being approved for the waitlist. Once an application is received, it will be reviewed and we will then schedule a follow-up phone call with further questions, as well as give you the opportunity to ask yours. Once we are comfortable with each other, you will be added to the waitlist. When a puppy is available for you, we will contact you to determine if you are ready for a puppy in your life. If you accept, then we require a $500 deposit to hold a puppy for you. Please be aware that we select the puppy that we feel is the right one for you and your home, based on the information you have provided. We place puppies based on temperament as the number one priority, then gender. While you may prefer a specific color, we may not have the right puppy for you in that color, so color choice is not a main part of our selection criteria but will try to accommodate if possible. Feel free to add anything to this application that will help us determine what you are looking for in a Lagotto Romagnolo. To keep your application current, please check in with us at least every 6-months so we know you are still interested. If we do not hear from you within a 6-month time frame from submission, we will consider your application “inactive” and you would likely be skipped when puppies are available.

We do have 2 puppies available to go to a new home in mid-November, so if interested, please fill out the application asap and how ready you are to welcome a new family member!!!
