Yes it is true contracts are only as good as the person you enter into it with but I don't ship, deal locally, check out buyers thoroughly and for those that have ulterior motives when they hear terms of contract which I tell them over the phone before it goes any further, they decide I am far too much trouble, they can get one elsewhere where the breeder isn't going to be as much trouble.
FOr the most part, however, my pups are not sold until over 6 months of age and are spay/neutered first. |
So, many of us are beginning to tighten up our contracts, because of what Tami is encountering. But, even with these tough contracts we can still run into difficulties. I have yet to have a problem, but who knows. I too only sell locally, don't ship, and know my buyers on a personal level.
