No reputable breeder is in it to get rich or for a business. I've never heard of a reputable breeder (or really any breeder) not having some type of a contract. The contract should include the breeders and buyers name and information; the sex, breed, birthdate, registration number and price of the puppy; requirements that the breeder has for the puppy's home such as living indoors only, receiving vet care, etc; the breeder should be willing to take back the puppy if at any time you can't keep it anymore during the lifetime of the puppy; some type of health guarantee; the amount of time you have (usually 48-72 hours) to have the puppy checked out by your vet to make sure it is healthy; spay/neuter clause. Contracts protect the buyer and the seller.
