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 either are not available, than this contract shall be terminated.      

                                                                                        

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.)               Copies of the following items are needed prior to or at the time of service

a.      AKC Registration

b.      Three (3) generation Pedigree

c.       Current Negative Brucellosis results performed within 14 days of the expected breeding, if not using artificial insemination.

 

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.

 

6.)               If pick of the litter is the consideration, owner of Stud dog agrees to make their pick of the litter at 6 weeks of age.

 

 

 

7.)    Bitch must have full registration through the American Kennel Club and be over 18 mos.

 

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

 

STUD FEES

 

1.)               A Stud fee of $___________________ shall be payable by 50% at first mating and remainder of balance due 96 hours (4 days) after puppies are whelped by cash or Paypal unless other arrangements are made beforehand between the breeder and Stud dog owner.  If other arrangements are made, please see Special Conditions Section below.

 

2.)               The Bitch owner is responsible for any/all fees associated with breeding, including, but not limited to veterinary Services, shipping fees, ovulation timing or artificial insemination fees. 

 

3.)               The Stud fee shall not be refunded, in whole or in part, for any reason, except as specifically provided within this contract. 

 

PUPPY PLACEMENT & BITCH OWNER RESPONSIBILITY

 

1.)               The Bitch owner agrees that all puppies resulting from this litter will be properly cared for and placed in the proper homes.  No puppy may be sold either directly, or indirectly, to any party outside of North America without the express written consent of the Stud Dog owner. 

                                    

2.)               No puppy resulting from this breeding shall be either directly or indirectly transferred to wholesale outlets, dog dealers, brokers, humane shelters, laboratories, pet shops or their agents.    

 

3.)               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 Double H Danes of any puppy, which results from this breeding, that cannot be kept by the original owner.  In such cases, Double H Danes is entitled to the "first right of refusal" in the case that the Bitch owner cannot keep or properly rehome the puppy.       

                    

4.) 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.  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 the Bitch.

 

If any legal action occurs, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorney's fees. Each party acknowledges that they have read and understand the terms and conditions of this Stud Service Contract and have voluntarily entered and executed this agreement. 

  

Other Special Conditions (if any):

 

ANY VIOLATIONS OF THIS CONTRACT WILL RESULT IN A PENALTY OF $1,000.00 PER PUPPY PRODUCED BY THIS BREEDING PAID BY THE BITCH OWNER TO STUD OWNER.
