ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF A SALES CONTRACT

Your sales contract should contain:

A general health guarantee of at least seven days, with either a full refund upon return of the puppy or payment of veterinary expenses incurred.

Statement that the dog, to the best of the breeder's knowledge and belief, is free of inherited disease.

A condition that you must return the dog to the breeder if, for any reason other than health, you cannot keep it (you are not entitled to a refund in this instance).

Contract should state the puppies’ registration number or the names of the parents, puppies’ date of birth and registering organization, American Kennel Club and United Kennel Club are pre-eminent.

Contract should require that the puppy will be neutered. Most reputable breeders will stipulate that "Limited Registration" option papers will be provided upon receipt of proof from a veterinarian that the puppy has been neutered. Dogs registered with the AKC's "Limited Registration" option are not eligible to be shown and their progeny are not registerable.

In addition, you should receive a Certification of Vaccination (types and dates).
