Spay/Neuter Contract

 

The following agreement is between LISA WALLACE (breeder), hereafter referred to as "Seller", and _______________________________, hereafter referred to as "Purchaser".

BREED: __________________________COLOR: ____________________

SEX: _______REG. NO.: _____________________ DOB: _____________

SIRE: ____________________________ SIRE’S REG #: ______________

DAM: ____________________________ DAM'S REG #: ______________

Purchaser agrees to neuter/spay the puppy before it reaches one year of age. Purchaser agrees to supply Seller with a veterinarian's letter by certified mail as proof of a neuter/spay. If Purchaser fails to neuter/spay this puppy and provide proof to the Seller by one year of age, rights and ownership of the dog will automatically terminate and revert back to Seller who may immediately assume possession of the dog. The Purchaser will pay seller’s reasonable attorney’s fees for recovery of the dog.

It is understood by all parties to this agreement that this puppy of the above specified description is being purchased as a PET only. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this puppy will be registered by limited registration if applicable. In the event that the Purchaser does not have the puppy properly neutered/spayed, any offspring issuing from this pet-quality puppy are not eligible for registration with the AKC, ICCF, or any other breed registries.

When to spay/neuter: Generally this should be done when the puppy has reached at least 5-6 months for a female and 6-8 months for a male. The older the dog, the more able it will be to withstand the anesthesia. There is no need to wait for a female to have her first heat cycle before she is spayed. In fact, you can avoid the problems associated with estrus by spaying her before it occurs. There is also no need to wait for the male to become sexually mature.

Why spay/neuter: Fixing your dog prevents pregnancy and the birth of unwanted puppies. It avoids the need to restrain the dog during estrus. It keeps both sexes from roaming away from your house in search of a mate. It reduces the tendency of male dogs to urinate in the house, marking his territory. Licensing fees are also cheaper. Additionally, it avoids reproductive-related problems such as tumors, pyometra, false pregnancy, prostate infections, and old-age cancers.

Why should this dog be spayed/neutered? Any puppy sold as a pet should not be bred. This is simply for the improvement and maintenance of the breeding line for the breed. Breeding is not to be done casually nor is it a moneymaking venture. It is not a hobby and is very time consuming and energy demanding. By demanding that this pet only puppy be neutered/spayed, it avoids mass-production of the breed, controls the already overblown dog population, and improves the overall fitness of the purebred line.

This does NOT mean that this puppy is an inferior dog. This puppy is as capable as any of its littermates of becoming a lovable, well-trained, and perfectly happy dog. Given the proper amount of love and attention, nothing should prevent this puppy from becoming an excellent companion and family member.

We the undersigned have read, understood and agree with the terms of this contract.
