ashaflynn Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hello all, I have been approached by a lovely lady who would like to provide a pet home for one of my dogs. As I wasn't planning on pet homing the dog in the near future as am planning a last litter early next year it came as a bit of a shock (hadn't really made my mind up one way or the other wether pet homing was even going to be an option to be honest) but this lady is one in a million who would provide the best home anyone could hope for, for one of their babies!. We are currently going through the process of getting to know one another and fine tuning all details but everything is looking very positive so far. The lady is more than happy with a breeders terms arrangement and whilst I know contracts aren't 100% foolproof I was wondering whether any fellow breeders could PM me an example of some of their contracts. I will also be getting the agreement stat dec'd on both sides as well - which this lovely lady is also more than happy to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ellz Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I think your best bet would probably be to download a general sales agreement and modify it to suit yourself. Then, if you have a Community Legal Assistance office near you, take it in for a lawyer to cast their eye over it to see if they think it is ok. Bear in mind though that most agreements will not hold weight in court and that they must be fair in consideration to all parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercharged Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Gosh......um have the litter then send her the dog.........is it really worth the trouble? Been down the contract road as as Ellz said - not worth doing. Surely if she really likes the dog she will be prepared to wait? Then again what happens is the litter does not happen? Does she have to wait again..... Been there done that, been burnt, never again. S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S The lady is really keen and doesn't want to wait until Feb/March of next year - waiting until after the litter was my original suggestion but she's happy to go down the breeders terms track. If the litter does not happen then I will be desexing the dog after anyway - not going to be trying again as this will be be her third and final litter. Ellz, thanks for the suggestion ... I'll go and have a look at what I can find. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Sorry, but your a braver man than I Gunga Din. I would NEVER suggest breeders terms. I have have heard of to many sad stories to go down that road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziah Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 In this case given you're definitely breeding this bitch next year I'd be firm and keep her until then... If this lady really wants this particular dog, she will wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

becks Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I agree, if she isn't willing to wait now, will she really be happy to hand her back to you for several weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
