I have written up this contract in regards to my soon to be stud. I already have a breeding lined up but another person shied away as soon as she saw the contract. Is there something wrong with it?

Terms/Conditions
You must provide me with the following information/paperwork before breeding.
- Written verification that states that your bitch has been vaccinated, dewormed, and tested with negative results for luxating patellas and STDs.
- A negative Brucellosis test report from a veterinarian within 10 days of breeding.
- A recent photo of the bitch (if scheduling a meeting is not practical).

I, as the stud dog owner, will take all precautions necessary for the care and
well-being of the bitch. During her stay, she will be cared for as if she were my own. She will be exercised daily, and be fed as per owner's instructions. While the bitch is in her heat, she will be bred every 24-hours or as long as she will stand for him.

 The following requirements must be met in the case where a puppy is to
be received instead of a cash stud fee:
- Stud owner has first choice of one puppy, either sex and any conformation
- One puppy constitute as a litter, so if there is only one puppy, regardless
of sex, this puppy shall be my choice of the litter, unless other negotiations have been agreed upon.
- If no puppies survive to the time when the puppies may leave their mother (12 weeks), I have the right to receive full cash stud fee as covered above.
- The bitch owner agrees to sign and release the puppy's registration certificate, once I have obtained the puppy, and agrees that the puppy’s registered name will be determined by me.

 If the bitch fails to conceive, a return service at no charge will be given to the same bitch provided the owner of the bitch notifies the stud dog owner within 40 days after the due date that no puppies were whelped.

 If there is a failure to produce at least one (1) live-born or dead-born puppy then the original bitch will receive a 1 free stud service during her next heat.

 If the stud is incapable of breeding for whatever reason, you will have your fee returned.

 If no puppies result from the return service, this entire agreement is
terminated and the stud owner/agent is released from any further
obligation. (Exceptions may include first-time bitches and bitches that have had a hard time conceiving in the past. Maximum of three (3) services)

 I can provide local transportation for a fee. All transportation charges and veterinary expenses will be the responsibility of the bitch owner.

I, as the stud owner, reserve the right to use pedigrees, photographs, Internet presence/web page and promotional materials of the litter for marketing purposes of my stud dog: Koda. It is specifically agreed hereby that I am
not obligated to sign the litter registration of this litter until I have inspected the litter and the stud fee has been paid in full. In case of a puppy in lieu of puppy fee, I shall not sign litter registration application papers until I have possession of the puppy or puppies as agreed. It is further agreed that puppies produced from this breeding will not be knowingly sold or transferred to any owner, employees, agent or individual connected with a wholesaler of dogs.
