Benefits of a written contract

The goal of a written contract is to preserve the original terms of the agreement you’ve entered into with your breeder, and ensure both parties are on the same page about the responsibilities that you're both taking on.

As a buyer, you should read the terms of the contract carefully and always ask the breeder questions about any clause that you do not understand before signing the contract. It is often very difficult to make changes to a contract or contest any of the terms after the document has been signed.

Both you and your breeder should have a clear understanding of what you are committing to do and what your responsibilities are. If you are uncomfortable with something in the contract, or feel hesitant about the terms, this may not be the right arrangement for you.
