Conditions of Service:

1.) All fees are payment for the stud service only and are not to be construed as a guarantee of puppies. If the bitch fails to whelp or whelps fewer than two living puppies at birth, the owner of the bitch must notify the stud dog owner not more than 65 days after the date of the last mating. There shall be no refund in whole or part, but a return service to the same stud shall be provided at the same bitch's next heat if both are still available; if not available, to an agreed alternate.

2.) If a bitch fails to whelp or give birth to two living puppies as a result of this second mating, then this agreement shall be terminated and the stud dog owner shall have no further obligations.

3.) If ownership of the bitch changes, right of return service shall be at the option of the stud dog owner.

4.) The following items are needed prior to or at the time of service:

Photocopies of:

___ AKC Registration.

___ Four (4) Generation Pedigree.

___ Current Negative Brucellosis results performed within 14 days of the expected breeding.

5.) It is specifically agreed that the stud dog owner is not obligated to sign the application for registration of this litter until the stud fee has been paid in full or, in the case of a puppy fee, the stud owner has possession of the puppy or puppies as agreed. Nor is the stud dog owner required to sign the litter application if any of the conditions in this contract have not been followed or if there is a question as to the parentage of the resulting puppies.

If the Bitch is not titled in a way to make good temperament probable, bitch owner agrees to make Bitch available for examination by Stud Dog owner. In cases where the Stud Dog owner cannot meet the bitch, owner will provide current photographs.

5.) Bitch owner warrants that this Bitch has not been exposed to any other Stud Dog from the start of her heat cycle.

Stud Fees/Expenses

1.) A stud fee of $Private Treaty shall be payable in full prior to the first mating or insemination by cash or certified check unless other arrangements are made beforehand between the breeder and stud dog owner.

2.) The Bitch owner is responsible for any and all fees associated with breeding, including, but not limited to veterinary Services, shipping fees, ovulation timing or artificial insemination fees. In the case that the Bitch changes ownership, there is no obligation on the part of the Stud Dog owner to provide a repeat service.

3.) Bitch owner agrees to sell all puppies on a written contract. Copy of this contract must be furnished to Stud Dog owner prior to first mating taking place. Furthermore, Bitch owner agrees to sell any puppy with a disqualifying fault per the AKC standard, on an AKC limited registration. For Bitch owners residing in Canada, pups must be sold on "non-breeding" contracts, which can be lifted once pups grow into dogs worthy of breeding.

4.) Bitch owner agrees to provide the name, address and phone number of each puppy purchaser within 30 days of transfer of ownership and also agrees to provide each purchaser with the name, address and phone number of the Stud Dog owner.

5.) Bitch owner agrees to assume responsibility for any resultant pups for their lifetimes and agrees to accept any puppy that is returned. Bitch owner further agrees to notify Stud Dog owner of any puppy, which results from this breeding, that cannot be kept by it's original owner. In such cases, Stud Dog owner is entitled to the "first right of refusal" in the case that the Bitch owner or Breeder cannot keep the puppy.

6.) The owner of the stud will appraise the offspring of this breeding for the owner of the bitch at no charge when the puppies are six weeks of age if they are within 25 miles. (over 25miles and bitch owner will be responsible for gas.) The owner of the bitch shall make an advance appointment for this service.

7.) The owner of the stud will, as a matter of courtesy only, refer prospective puppy purchasers to the owner of the bitch when the puppies are at least seven weeks old.

Furthermore, Stud Dog owner reserves the right to deny any breeder or bitch for any reason. In the case that the breeding has previously been approved, Stud Dog owner also reserves the right to later refuse any bitch that is aggressive to any person while attempting to breed naturally or artificially or whose breeder is found to not be in good standing with the American Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club. In either case, full stud fee, less $200 for expenses, will be refunded.

In breeding animals, there is always a risk that one may be injured during the process. Bitch owner agrees to hold the stud dog harmless from any liability or damage. In addition, the Bitch owner understands that the Stud Dog owner accepts no liability for the actions of this Bitch while in their care, including but not limited to personal injury or property damage.
