This agreement is between the “Breeder”, Danie's Darling Doodles / Danielle Wright, and the “Guardians”.
Danies Darling Doodles Guardian Home Agreement
This agreement is for the guardianship of a male or female doodle. The dog will continue to be owned by Danielle Wright for up to 5 or less litters from the date of the contract or until the agreement is terminated by one of the parties in a way defined in this agreement.
Breeder Obligations
- Breeder will provide guardian with detailed instructions regarding care of dog, feeding, training, and veterinary care.
- Breeders will visit the guardian home a minimum of 1 time per year.
- Breeders will request transportation of the dog when necessary. Breeder will give guardians at least a 2 day notice when transportation is necessary.
- Breeder will pay guardians of female dogs $500 per litter produced. For males, a set fee for studding. This fee will be paid at time of studding or when I get paid off the litter when they go home around 8 weeks of age.
- Breeder is responsible for all expenses related to testing/breeding. If testing shows dog is not able to be bred, the Breeder will release the guardians from the contract at which the dog will be able to be bought from the breeder at a discounted rate.
- In the case of a female, Breeder will breed her for a total of 5 or less litters (number will vary based on ease of pregnancy, delivery, and ability as a mother), after which proof of spaying will be done by the breeder. In the case of a male, the length of time will be determined by need and ability to breed.
- Failure to meet these obligations can result in the guardian terminating the guardianship agreement.
- We reserve the right to refuse any home, and to come get the dog at anytime if we feel it is not a good fit at which point the dog needs to be surrendered back to us or legal action will be taken if this contract is breached.
- In the event the breeder passes away the dog needs to be surrendered to the spouse of the breeder or close family member unless the breeding program will not be continued at which the spouse can make the decision to keep the program going or surrender dogs to the guardian for good.
- In the event the dog is disqualified and I want to sell to you it will be priced at a discounted rate but will depend on how much I paid for that particular dog. It will be between $600-1500.
