CONDITIONS

Stud dog owner enters into this agreement with the intent to help the Bitch owner produce healthy puppies, which will be good representatives of the English Labrador breed in both type and temperament.

Bitch Qualification

1. Bitch must be at least 18 months old when breeding takes place.
   Bitch is healthy and all genetic and or health problems which exist in the bitch must be disclosed to the stud dog owner.
2. Bitch owner must provide Stud Dog owner with copy of Bitches Pedigree and copy of health clearances.
3. Bitch owner warrants that this Bitch has not been exposed to any other Stud Dog from the start of the heat cycle.
4. Bitch must have a current Brucellosis test performed prior to breeding.

BITCH OWNER AGREES:

That all puppies from this mating will be sold to private parties. None may be sold to any person who deals with the re-sale of a dog. Bitch owner also agrees that any puppy born with disqualifying faults per the AKC Breed Standard shall be sold on limited registration.

Owner of the Bitch agrees to sell all puppies from this litter on limited registration, except for any puppies Bitch owner keeps for herself. Unless discussed otherwise.
In breeding animals there is always a risk that one may be injured in the process. Bitch owner agrees to hold the stud dog owner harmless from any liability or damage.

Payment conditions

The stud fee is $2,500.00. There will be a non-refundable $500.00
Service fee due at the time of the breeding with the remainder of the stud fee due when the litter is born.

This contract formalizes the mating of the listed dogs but does not guarantee pregnancy or the birth of puppies. Success is defined as the birth of three live puppies after whelping, constituting a successful litter.

The agreement clarifies expectations for both parties. If the bitch does not produce a litter, the service fee is non-refundable and will not credit future breeding attempts. The full stud fee must be paid for repeat breedings, emphasizing the uncertainties of the breeding process.

As breeding practices evolve, open discussions about the risks and rewards are essential. While producing healthy puppies is a common goal, outcomes can be unpredictable. This contract aims to clarify expectations and protect the interests of all parties involved.
