I believe if the puppy is suitable for breeding, the breeder should give the owner the option. I do understand to a point though why some breeders will insist on a spay/neuter contract with no exceptions but like you said if everyone did this, there would be very few puppies. Take biewers for example, their are very few here because all the breeder insist on a spay/neuter contract no exceptions and in my opinion this is not right, they won't even take it in consideration, even if you are a top breeder and raise the best dogs and have the best care for them. Someone is going to have to give in, or there won't be any biewers here. I myself see no problem with letting someone breed the puppy they buy if it is suitable for breeding and if the owner is responsible and cares for them. If he/she is not suitable for breeding, then why would you want to breed him/her? Why not spay/neuter?? You don't want to make the breed worse but better and this would be where a spay/neuter contract would come up.
I wish too that the goverment would make such a law, but I highly doubt that will ever happen, it would be too much like living in a perfect world which will never happen. |
Exactly, if they are suitable for breeding then so be it. But, you as a breeder can get a good or bad vibe from a person to tell if they will be good puppy owners. If you get good vibes then don't bring the spay/neuter thing up if the puppy is suitable for breeding.
And if the puppy is not suitible and if you get bad vibes from the person insist on a spay/neuter contract, then that way it may even scare the bad people away.
Other than that ask all those other good questions everyone has been posting to the person buying your puppy. BUT NO BACKGROUND CHECK, THEY DIDN't MURDER SOMEONE. And you as a breeder like I said will get those good and bad vibes about a person you will be able to tell.
I'm glad you want your babies to go to good homes. I don't think asking someone to keep you updated on pictures of your babies is too much. I offered to keep the person I got mine from updated. I think it's fun letting them know how their babies are doing. The guy that I bought my male from gets a picture of him every month. And the lady I got my little girl from sees her every now and then. But, don't try to stalk the person and insist they show you pictures of your puppies. It's just another thing you should ask the person and see how they reply, but don't take it personal if they do not want to do it. They just may be personal that keeps to themselves, but once again your insticts should kick in and you should tell if they are good or bad. I think that is the key to being a good breeder be sure to ask those good questions and listen to their answeres and you should be able to tell who's good, bad, who's in it for money, etc....
Anyhow, good luck on selling your babies, do you have pictues of them? Or did you post their pics already and I missed them?
