OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Stud Dog Owner(s) reserves the right to take a puppy in lieu of a stud fee, unless stud fee/deposit is paid in full up front prior to breeding. Stud Dog Owner(s) will choose said puppy at 6 weeks of age, before any puppies from said litter have left the bitch owner’s residence, after examination of litter by Stud Dog Owner(s) or his/her representative. Said puppy will carry the Stud Owner’s kennel name as a prefix. Bitch Owner’s theme, if specified, will be used to name said puppy.
DEFINITION OF “LITTER”
A Litter, for the purposes of this Contract, is defined as a minimum of 2 puppies born alive. If Breeding does not take, a Repeat Breeding will be given to the same Bitch on her next season. If the Bitch fails to conceive on the return service, this Contract is terminated. If other arrangements have not been made with the Stud Dog Owner(s) and the Bitch is not bred on her next season, or is bred to another Stud Dog on her next season, the Deposit is forfeited and the Contract is null and void. If Litter results in only one puppy, and the Bitch Owner does not wish to repeat the Breeding, the deposit paid prior to Breeding, plus expenses, will be considered payment for a one puppy Litter and the Contract is fulfilled. If it is a puppy back breeding and only one puppy is born a discounted stud fee of $500 shall be paid and no puppy taken by stud dog owner.
Balance of Stud Fee & all vet expenses must be paid in full before Bitch is returned to Bitch Owner after a repeat Breeding.
STUD DOG OWNER AGREES TO:
1) Provide a four-generation pedigree of the above-named Stud Dog;
2) Take proper care of the Bitch while in Stud Dog Owner’s charge;
3) Do everything necessary to insure a successful breeding;
4) Sign Litter Registration promptly upon payment in full of Stud Fee and any other outstanding balance related to this Breeding.
BITCH OWNER AGREES TO:
1) Pay the agreed Stud Service Fee Deposit before the Bitch is serviced;
2) Pay the Balance of the Stud Fee upon birth of Litter resulting from this Breeding;
3) Provide a four-generation pedigree of the Bitch to be bred;
4) If while in care of the Stud Dog Owner, a culture or veterinary examination may be required it will be at the Bitch Owner’s expense if there is any suspicion of a problem
5) Send the Bitch in good health, free of parasites or infections, and in season;
6) Notify Stud Dog Owner in writing, no later than 70 days after Breeding, if no pregnancy results from the mating. Failure to do so will result in no return service being provided;
7) Keep the Bitch properly confined following Breeding to ensure no other Dog could mate her accidentally before her season is complete;
8) Agrees to not knowingly sell or transfer puppies resulting from this Breeding to any person or firm connected with the business of resale or wholesale of dogs.
9) Pay any and all veterinary and financial arrangements, including, but not limited to traveling expenses, emergency vet care related to this Breeding, etc.
OTHER AGREEMENTS
Bitch Owner is responsible for all testing done to the bitch prior to and during Breeding to assure the proper timing of said Breeding. Bitch Owner is responsible for cost of artificial insemination and shipping of semen. If Bitch Owner is not willing to pay for progesterone testing, smears or AI’s this should be stated ahead of time and included in the contract initialed by both parties. If this is the case we will try our best to breed the dogs at the proper time but if no puppies result the deposit is forfeited and no repeat breeding is offered. The cost of shipping Bitch to and from Stud dog is that of the Bitch Owner. Stud Dog Owner does not charge a boarding fee or pickup and delivery charge unless Bitch must stay for a longer period of time than what is usually necessary or if Stud Dog Owner must travel over 50 miles to pick up Bitch. Bitch Owner is responsible for the cost of Bitch’s food, supplements and medication while in the care of the Stud Dog Owner.
Bitch will be bred two to three times artificially depending on what the Stud Dog Owner feels is best to cover the entire breeding cycle. We will make every effort to cover the entire breeding cycle of the bitch.
Chilled, Extended or Frozen Semen:
If Bitch Owner elects to have fresh chilled semen shipped to the Bitch the entire cost is that of the Bitch Owner. This fee is in addition to the Stud Fee. Litter papers will not be signed until the remainder of the Stud Fee and the entire cost of the Chilled semen expenses are paid in full.
If breeding does not take Bitch Owner is still responsible for the cost of the Chilled semen expenses. Further, if semen was drawn and arrived in good shape and Bitch Owner does not wish to repeat the breeding the original deposit will serve as the fee for the original breeding plus any out of pocket expenses Stud Dog Owner has acquired, and this contract will be null and void. Should Bitch Owner choose to do a second breeding – the remainder of the Stud Fee is due up front.
Additional:
Bitch Owner agrees to provide Stud Dog Owner with a list of names and addresses of owners of puppies resulting from this breeding if requested. It is recommended all pet puppies are to be sold on limited registration papers with spay/neuter contracts.
Stud Dog Owner understands that most breeders sell puppies with a first right of refusal clause. Stud Dog Owner would appreciate being informed of puppies that are returned for any reason. An effort will be made on the Stud Dog Owner’s part to help Bitch Owner find a new home for said puppy. Stud Dog Owner wishes Bitch Owner to understand that he/she takes the breeding of said Stud Dog very seriously and will be very interested in the puppies resulting from this litter for their entire lifetime. Stud owners agrees to accept returned puppies if the Bitch Owner is unable to at that time.
Additions/ Exceptions/Etc. (signed, dated and initialed by all parties)

I understand the above written Contract and agree to abide by all sections both typed and written. Both parties agree to all of the above agreements and terms.
