I agree... some contracts are written so its like the new owner has no control over their own animal.
the man things I like to see in a contract are
1. spay/neuter obligation
2. obligation to turn the dog over to the breeder and NOT a shelter, rescue, or new home (unless pre-approved by the breeder) if the situation arises in which they can no longer keep the new puppy.
3. obligation to keep the puppy as an indoor only pet.
Good Luck!
