The pups I have currently did not have a spay/neuter contract,(although I did get them both 'fixed'), so I am not familiar with contracts. I have read everything over and over on this contract and this is the only thing I'm not sure about. Please advise. Thanks! |
Your breeder should be showing you the pedigree of your dog, being shown the pedigree of the dam and sire. This will help you see the lineage of the pup.
It is customary for breeders to send you the papers after you spay/neuter if the dog is sold as pet quality.
There should also be a health guarantee. My breeder puts in her contract that she should be notified if something happens and you can no longer keep the dog.
