While a well written contract that protects both parties interest is a substantial part of the process of obtaining a puppy, the reality is the cost of representation to enforce that contract can cost you as much as if not more that you would ever recoup under the contract. That's why seeing the pups and actually meeting and conversing with the breeder in person, and getting owner & vet references, is so important.
But this does make me wonder...
Can you imagine a couple adopting a child and then years later when the child develops medical problems, trying to sue the biological parents for possibly inherited defects? Everyone (I'm assuming...) hopes to adopt a healthy baby (fur or skin), but the reality is, you never know what diseases/afflictions may arise in the future in any offspring, whether yours or adopted. We have such incredibly high expectations of breeders to consistently produce only healthy babies...sometimes I wonder if it is reasonable.
