About a year ago I placed a puppy with a family. A pet contract, spay/nueter. They absolutely love this little girl, but pet quality. Anyway about a month after she went to her new home. I get a call from her owner (now mind you this pup was now close to 5 months of age now), asking if she could breed her. I was a bit flabergasted, since I never expected this question from this lady. I didn't lose my cool, but reiterated the pet only contract. Her answer was but, she's so adorable and I want one litter out of her, she wanted to stud her with one of my boys and would do it all with my instruction. I went on to tell her that if I wasn't willing to keep her, to Champion her and keep her in my breeding program, why would I allow her to. That still didn't penetrate.....My final question to her was are you willing to lose your girl? Her girl was spayed the following week.
