Contract Terms For Puppy Purchases
You have requested to purchase a pup from Homesteader Kennels, and your description of
your home situation has led us to agree to holding a puppy for you.
As former National Chair of German Shorthaired Pointer Rescue and as a breeder who is
known for consumate care in limited breeding and great care in selective breeding, I
require certain limits placed on pet quality puppies. Puppies not intended for show or
other competition may not be bred and must be neutered prior to their first birthday.
If a puppy designated as a pet or companion quality animal turns out better than expected,
we may review the situation together at six month and then, just prior to a year. If the
pup is shown and cannot finish a championship, it must not be bred and must be neutered.
If the animal can be finished as a show champion but has some fault that it may pass on to
future generations, it must not be bred. As breeder of the dog, I remain the judge of
whether any puppy I breed may be bred. Only dogs who promise to produce puppies which will
sustain or improve the overall quality of our breed can be bred. We do not need more
puppies in the world, we need better ones.
At any time in the life of the dog, should the family not wish to retain it, it must be
returned to us for new placement. It may not be sold or given away to another party
without our permission in advance of the transaction. If this is done without our
agreement, we must take action to seize the dog legally. This is to prevent any dog from
our breeding ending up in a shelter or pound, or worse.
If the dog is found to have any hereditary defect for the first two years of its life, we
will replace the dog with one out of a later litter, providing we are still breeding. A
refund will only pertain until the dog is four months old and has had a final puppy
examination by your veterinarian. Consultation and examination by my veterinarian will be
required.
At no time is the dog to be trained or used for attack work, nor is the dog to be tied or
left out of doors as a way of life. The puppy is to be raised as a family member in an
indoor setting. Fencing is required. Obedience training is necessary. Follow up and an
occasional arranged visit from the breeder is to be expected. We will be available
throughout the life of the dog to advise and answer questions and give you support.
Understood and willingly agreed to:
