While I'm thrilled to hear from anyone who has a puppy from me, I don't wish to intrude into their personal business and give them the feeling they're answerable to me. I interview the family before they get a puppy, enough to satisfy myself they have the means and desire to care for it. I only issue limited AKC registration, and there is a contract requiring spay/neuter before 7 months old, and requiring consult with me in the event rehoming ever becomes necessary, but I don't pop in and out of their lives to make sure they did everything they said they would do. If I didn't trust them to follow up I wouldn't trust them to leave with the puppy in the first place.
Every once in a while someone doesn't keep their word, and that's shame on them. Word and good name mean everything to me.
