Be aware that most contracts in the dog world are not legally enforceable, especially the ones that are micromanaging. Legally, dogs are property. As a result, do not rely on contracts to “force” the behavior that you want.
The contract should contain information about the puppy, as well as both yours and the breeder's details. It should also contain details of warranty or health claims made by the breeder, and any responsibilities or agreements that you make to the breeder.
If your dog has no papers you cannot get legitimate registration papers for it unless the original breeder does a litter registration and then gives you puppy papers for your dog. As for tags you apply for those usually at a city clerk's office or the animal control office in your city or town. Hope this helps you!
