The disclaimer is really out of a stud contract.....At times pick of the litter is used instead of a stud fee. However, if you are using your own stud and bitch, that is totally unnecessary. As, most of us breed for ourselves, and it is understood that no puppy will be placed until our assessing has been completed. Most reputable/breeders do not take deposits until the pups are viewed in person anyway, so such a disclaimer is unnecessary.
Those Best In Show Yorkies are few and far between.....the cash winnings, nowhere begins to cover costs that it takes to campaign a dog. Anyway, if you're using a handler, the cash goes to the handler, not to the owner of the dog.
