Most people start by asking what breed. Puppy or adult, rescue or breeder. In more than 30 years of matching dogs with families, Barbara Simpson has learned to start somewhere else, with an honest look at the life the dog is joining.
The Canine Matchmaking Assessment is the conversation she has with every prospective client, put on paper. The worksheets ask about your Tuesday, not your Saturday. Who feeds the dog each morning. How many hours the dog will spend alone, and what your week looks like once it includes a living animal with needs of its own.
