Buying a New Puppy? How To Avoid the Pitfalls
Many books and articles have been written regarding the art of
choosing a puppy (i.e. performing puppy tests, looking for
parental OFA certifications, and so on...), but few, if any,
discuss the contractual end of purchasing a puppy. I can tell
you through personal experience that purchasing a quality show
puppy from a famous breeder can be quite a stressful experience
because no breeder would give up the pick of the litter to a
competitor (for obvious reasons) or to a novice without
co-ownership of the puppy. Co-ownership of a puppy entitles the
breeder to many rights to the detriment of the buyer. To begin
with, the breeder might also be an experienced handler and might
contractually require the purchaser to use the breeder as the
puppies' trainer and handler. Agreeing to this could be a
monumental mistake because the purchaser might be required to
pay (even though they might be co-owners) for the breeders time
to train and handle the puppy. Agreeing to this can COST you
THOUSANDS of dollars.
In the contract, the breeder might require your bitch/dog to
whelp/stud puppies. And, of course, they would contractually
want the picks of the litter (they may choose either male or a
female puppies as they please). Furthermore, you as the
purchaser, might be required to pay the costs of breeding and
whelping the puppies (i.e. food, vet-bills, housing, AKC
registrations, stud fees, breeder's time) eventhough you may not
be allowed to get the picks of the litter. What's more, you may
not be able to see nor be with your dog for the duration of
gestation and delivery. Some breeders have been known to switch
animals when they are sent away for whelping or stud service.
Therefore, I would recommend that you microchip you puppy and
that you get an AKC DNA ID as soon as possible after you
purchase your puppy. This way, you will get back your beloved
animal without concern as to the nature of its identity.
When you purchase your puppy, most reputable breeders will
guarantee that your puppy will be free of various ailments for
the duration of two years. What they may fail to mention,
however, is that if your puppy becomes incurably ill, the
replacement puppy may be one of their own choosing and not
yours; which translates to the fact that you may end up with a
new puppy that has a lousy temperment.
So, remember. The devil is in the fine print. Read your contract
carefully, otherwise you may become the victim of your own
ignorance.
