My contract says that I will take my dog back at any time, no questions asked. If you have to move and can't take the dog, all my owners have to do is contact me. All the dogs are microchipped as puppies, and I remain on the call list as the second contact--also part of my contract.
During these harder economic times I've made my contracts tougher, so that it is about the dog's best interests, first and formost. I tell my buyers I don't want my dogs to land up in shelters or rescues, ever. If they can't keep the dogs, I want to assist in the rehoming, I want to know where the dogs are at all times. If that makes me too involved with my puppy buyers, as the breeder, I can't help that. |
