The

hereafter referred to as "Seller", and

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. Seller
