Your correct in your wording, but you are also able to have your own contract ..In which there is additional situations. ( like many other breeders )
I have a separate contract written by my lawyers and it was forwarded and approved by CKC (although they did change a few words they pretty much kept it in tack )
Stipulations are they must be fixed by 8 months ...although I do agree and all my families are told ...vets overrule the "date" and if need be we can adjust things as needed .
I am not doing anything that was not pre approved by CKC
This is a snippet of the approval email received from CKC
“The agreement submitted is acceptable with one exception, you must remove ”BLANK”
Instead, you may state the purchaser will receive the CKC registration certificate once proof of the spay/neuter certificate is provided”.
…of course I am not sharing all my info or legal documents …Breeders can do their own work/research or pay their own lawyers.
But my bottom line is/and will remain spay/neuter,(for SO many reasons ) if that’s not what they intent to do, they are certainly welcome (and encouraged) to search elsewhere.
I work very closely with our vets both reproduction vets and family vets
it is their knowledge that guides me and There teaching is invaluable to me
Blood panels will show ALT , BUN/UREA levels
if they are off it shows we require further investigation and a bile should be preformed
Vets (at least around her to my knowledge ) will not perform surgery if the levels are abnormal
All my families also get a Free Health visit with My vet where they can go over everything and anything in person.

Thank you Cindy for responding. Interesting that ruling by the CKC. And I wonder why they don't make it a part of their bylaws or codes of practice for breeder members. I will contact myself the CKC to see if I am allowed to hold back registration paperwork transfer of ownership until proof of spay/neuter is done. If that is their policy then it should be shown on their website that breeders are allowed to do so..... Which of course would be in conflict with the APA the Animal Pedigree Act which the CKC is incorporated under and must abide by their rules....... Very interesting indeed! The APA clearly states registration paperwork must be submitted by 6 months old..........
I do maintain Alt Bun Urea can be within normal and not show a problem.... How ever BATS can and will. Look to Univ of Tennessee they are the pre-eminent facility for research on Liver Shunt. Or along with this read the Sick n Emergency Threads here.....
And no general vet would operate on my dog based slowly on a BATS result. Scintography or ultrasound if performed by a knowledgeable expert is the next step. And I would go with a specialist for LS - all I believe are south of the border of Canada.
