Breeding contracts spell out the rights and responsibilities of the breeder and the other person whether the other person is purchasing a puppy or stud service. Good breeders will stand behind their services and their dogs.
In the painful event of a serious dispute, a court is more likely to enforce terms that are clearly spelled out as essential to the Breeder's agreement to sell the puppy in the first place. Not everything is a Deal Breaker - Remember, if the contract is too overbearing and unreasonable, it likely won't be enforceable.
Checklist for a Sales Agreement When Buying a Dog Health. The seller should set out any health problems the dog has or might have and should guarantee that the dog is otherwise healthy. Vaccinations. List the vaccinations the dog has had and when they were given. History. Training. Pedigree. Quality. Price. Warranties.
A pet agreement should include the landlord's and tenant's information, the place where the tenant will live with their pet, the inclusive dates of the contract (start date and end date), as well as how many pets are allowed within the property, and specify the amenities where the pet(s) are allowed.

ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS. So, many puppy contracts, or provisions of them, are not legally enforceable if they are unreasonable or micromanage the buyer.

The contract should include information on the dog's health, vaccination history, and any microchip information. It should also specify what is included in the sale (such as food, toys, and veterinary care). Most importantly, it should state what will happen if the dog is ever returned to the breeder.
Many reputable dog breeders do require that buyers neuter or spay their dogs, especially if the dog is sold as a pet rather than for breeding purposes. This practice helps prevent overpopulation and ensures that the dog is not bred irresponsibly.
