puppy.contract.question

[taraann81]

My mother in law bought a pup awhile back( not a mastiff). Bith parents wete regiatered (or so the "breeder" said. But she never regiatered the litter, pups have no papers. But MIL signed a contract with a no breeding clause (which is great, and not an issue..pup is just a pet and has already been spayed regardless). . But when she took the pup in to be spayed, the vet said non breeding contracts are great but uniforcible if the litter isnt registered. Is that true?

Contracts are extremely hard to enforce regardless. Especially if the breeder and puppy owner aren't in the same state.

I'm not sure why not registering the litter would make it any harder or easier. A BYB isn't likely to care regardless and they're the ones who that's aimed at anyway.

The contract is only as good as the people who sign it. If you had papers for the dog and bred it when sold on limited registration the pups would not be able to be registered.

We signed quite a detailed contract with Sully as well, but all things that I appreiciate having in the contract...from returning him to the breeder if we cant keep , non breeding clause, and even down to the way he ia contained in our yard, to recwiving proper meical care. Her "breeder" has a clause in the contract thay if her dog was bred, she would owe the breeder a certain amount of money in "damages" that is all thats in there i found it extremely odd after the detailed contract we signed!

The money owed if the dog is bred is not unusual. People understand monetary fines and are more apt to follow the contract if the penalty for breaking it has a dollar value, unfortunate but true. Each breeder has their own contract, it is up to the owner to do their research in the breeder as well.

Unfortunately, I have a friend whose dog was used to sire a litter and was not told about by the owner of the dam of genetic health issues. The owner of the dam was notified by the breeder of the dam that she should be spayed because of genetic health issues and not to be used for breeding.

The person that used his male was able to register the litter without his signature or permission and the registering organization has ignored his request not to register the litter as he did not sign off on the paperwork.
