Breeders Education

Breeder's briefcase column:

Are you prepared for an emergency?
In all likelihood your dog will need some type of first aid/emergency care at some point in its life.

Being prepared will enable you to better handle most emergencies. Familiarizing yourself with basic first aid and having the necessary materials at hand may make a big difference in the outcome.

A good canine first aid kit is an absolute must. You should not only have one in your home, but, should also carry one in your car/van/RV.

The following is a list of items that you might want to consider for your own first aid kit. Most can be found eitherin your neighborhood pharmacy or ordered from a number of different pet mail order catalogs.

Puppy buyer contracts
By Linda C. Garrett, Esq. and Mary Ann Hall, Esq.

You’ve spent months, perhaps years, planning the perfect breeding. For about two months you have carefully watched your bitch - first for signs of pregnancy and then for the tell-tale signs that labor and delivery are imminent. Finally, for eight weeks you have nurtured those little grey bundles of joy. Now you have found the ideal home for “Puppy.” The new owners seem like the perfect match. Surely, they are just as interested as you are you in the well-being of the new addition to their family and there is no need to memorialize all that has been discussed. Right?

While a contract (which is an agreement between two or more people either to do or not to do a particular thing) can be oral, it is far better to have a carefully constructed written document that will spell out exactly what is expected of both the seller and the buyer. A well-written contract can stave off conflict, if not disasters (“Gee, I thought it was OK to neuter Rover!”). While this article is not intended to replace the legal advice of a lawyer in your geographical location and is not an exhaustive review of contractual issues, here are a few helpful tips to consider as you are putting together your puppy buyer contract.
