Everything you listed is my experience too....but that I view as reasonable. Per my contract I had to spay ZoE and I provided proof of that when she was seven months old. And the only contact the breeder initiated was one phone call when ZoE was 10-11 months old to see how she was doing and to make sure she hadn't developed any health problems she should be aware of with her lines. That was fine. If she was calling & emailing every few months...I'd be placing blocks on my email & phone accounts
