| gentle reminder about contracts I've been visiting with RockinRhonda about her situation, and I wanted to take a moment to remind our new and old breeders alike the importance of contracts and proper documentation..... Too often, buyers are not demanding contracts from breeders and that leaves room for real issues if a problem presents itself down the road. When purchasing foundation stock, or a pet for that matter, present the breeder a written list of your expectations and have those expectations added to her contract. If a contract is not given to you, draft your own. Any breeder here would likely be willing to give advice on what a contract needs to cover. A purchase made without a written agreement gives the buyer little or no recourse if things do not work out as intended. With the buyers expectations given upfront a foundation breeder can then point out what is / is not realistic for her. When everyone is on the same page, situations tend to go much more smoothly. Our trusting nature can sometimes get the best of us becasue we often just assume problems will be made right. Proper contracts and documentation save both parties head ache, pocket ache and heart ache! |

| i think thats a great reminder..i think contracts are very good safey nets i am always improving and updating my contracts and they are viewable for customers but (jmo) i dont forsee me changing my contracts to fit someone else expectations...sorry...i myself might be taken back by someone bringing me their expectations..but like i said im very upfront with my customers, my contracts are displayed, and most of my customers have been talking to me before puppies were even conceived, so if they have questions or concerned they are always addressed before a deposit is even placed..because my contracts are part of the paper work they get via email/mail when they started inquiring about puppies..so everything is understood before puppies and $$ is involved but contracts are the best way to go and if the customer is not comfortable with that contract..move on to the next breeder that fits what you are looking for |

| I think this is a great reminder! As far as a breeder being willing to change their contract to suit a buyers needs, I don't see where that would be a problem IF both parties were in agreement. If it's something that they just cannot see eye to eye on, then that is when you know it is not a good breeder to owner match. I think that as a buyer, it's a definate MUST to have a good idea of what you want out of the purchase agreement and you shouldn't settle for less. I always volunteer a copy of my agreement waaay in advance so that the interested party can look it over and consider it at their own pace. Then if they have questions or concerns that require it to be changed here and there, that is fine. Last edited by BamaFan121s; 09-09-2008 at 10:42 AM. |
