Here's her website: Shadow's Retreat | 703-327-6454
Oliver has ALL his papers and I was able to meet his mommy and daddy which I liked so I know what Ollie might look like. My question is, his breeder had stated in the contract and told me that right around the time he is of the age to get neutered I have to bring him back to her to see if she wants to use him as a stud. If she DOES want to use him then I am not allowed to neuter him and she will pay me $100 for each time she uses him as a stud. I don't really know too much about this sort of thing and it didn't seem so bad at the time (and I was SOO in love with Oliver that I had to have him!!) so I agreed but now I'm hoping I didn't make the wrong decision. Is this normal for breeders to want their puppies to be studs? If so, is it harmful to them in anyway? I honestly don't think he will be used as he was the little runt of the litter but I fell in love with him regardless and wanted to take him with me  Also, for all you experts out there that know a lot more than I do on what to look for, does her website look legit and does she seem like a good breeder? Thanks so much guys for all your help!  |
I would return him before I would keep my puppy under a contract like that. NO matter how much I love him. Well, I'm only trying to make a point that if you are not allowed to alter he isn't yours. He is co/owned and when you alter him without her approval if its in the contract then she can sue you. Tell her you want it changed. She will do it. She appears to be GS person with a boarding place that decided to breed her yorkie pets.
You have a wild contract. Sure, let you live with a stud dog she sold you as a pet. You want a pet, a stud isn't the same. Pets are cleaner.
