our friends bought a terrior from a Breeder for 1000.00 bucks
and had to sign a contract if they Neutar the dog they get fined 5000.00
dollars if the dog can't stud anymore.
I never should of checked this link i'am so ******.

i guess when they bought the dog they agreed to stud him

Sounds strange to me

FWIW, it depends...1.) Did the breeder have intentions for this pup/dog to be sold as a "show prospect"? 2.) Were your friends aware of this pup/dog's potential before they signed the contract?

Usually a responsible breeder would verse folks VERY well on what he/she expected out of such a contract BEFORE it was signed. Your friends would have had ample time to decide for or against it.

This would be a normal clause in that type of a situation. However, a responsible breeder would also most likely hold a co-own on the dog as well. They would also have the option of having the pup/dog spayed/neutered if they didn't work out as a show dog. IMHO, if these two clauses (co-own and spay/neuter clause) aren't in there, I would question whether this is really a responsible breeder.

Just my thoughts...

Darcy pretty much summed up what I was thinking. Every contract is different in regards to dogs. Nothing out of the ordinary with that contract, but there is probably alot of fine print and conversations you might not have had a priveledge to hear when they bought that dog.

Hmm... can you post the link? In our contract, if we breed Baloo (accidently or otherwise) and puppies are produced we will be fined $5000.

I agree that there's probably (hopefully) more to it.

No, it's not normal practice in my circles. The only thing I can think of is that the breeder desperately wants/needs to keep control of the pedigree behind the puppy and feels the need to enforce it on the buyers by making the fine part of the contract. I think it is very odd. If the breeder feels that strongly about keeping the dog intact, the breeder should have kept the dog for themselves.
