Yes, Show Contracts and Companion Contracts are seperate with very concise wording. The contract should be there to protect both of you.
Genetic defects should be incorporated in a show contract, just as it is in a companion yorkie contract.
LP can be genetic or brought on by an injury. Wording should clarify that. Therefore, vet check records should accompany the puppy when it leaves the breeders home.
What it boils down to you and your breeder must be in full trust of one another. My breeder has always stood behind everything that she's entrusted me with. I always walk out her door with a smile on my face, babbling, oh boy! another champion......she looks at me and says "we shall see". I finally figured out what that meant; anything can go wrong and she will take it back if the dog doesn't prove to be a show dog.......
