GENERAL
This bitch (now referred to as 'dog') will reside with the Caregivers except when needed to travel to the Breeders for the purpose of breeding clearances and actual breedings, and commencing one week prior to whelping and approximately four to eight weeks following whelping.
The Caregivers will keep the Breeders up to date on the development of the dog and inform the Breeders when the dog comes into heat each time.
As noted above, this dog will be returned to the Breeders one week prior to whelping date and stay with the Breeders for four weeks and possibly up to eight weeks. Usual time period is only five weeks until the pups are weaned.
The Caregivers will keep this dog with full regard to her safety, health, mental well being, socialization and training needs and in such physical condition for breeding. This dog will not be tied up nor let run loose. When in heat, she will be kept safely on lead or at home to avoid unwanted matings. (Note: in some circumstances if the Caregiver feels more comfortable, the bitch will stay with the Breeder when she is having her 'rest' heat.)
This dog will not be bred until she is at least eighteen months of age and have no more than four litters. Most females are retired by the age of six.
If the Breeders decide, on the advice of their veterinarian, future pregnancies will be harmful to the dog, the dog will be withdrawn from the breeding program. After being spayed, at the Caregivers
expense ownership will be transferred to the Caregivers.
During pregnancy, the Caregivers will follow all health instructions from the Breeders. If any additional vitamins or supplements are necessary they will be supplied at the Breeders expense.
RECALLED
The Breeders will insist on the dog being returned if it is learned she is allowed to run loose without
supervision; if she is accidentally bred ; if the Caregivers fail to inform the Breeders of the dog's heat cycles; if the dog becomes so overweight that her health is at risk.
COSTS
The Caregivers will not pay the Breeder for the dog.
All costs of routine care (food, shelter, training, routine and emergency veterinary services) will be the Caregivers. We do require that the dog remain on the food that we are currently feeding. More information on this food, TLC pet food, can be viewed on a link from the ‘litters’ page on our website.
OTHER
Before a family will be considered for the program, the Breeders must meet all the members of the family
that will be living in the household.
If, for whatever reasons, the Caregivers can no longer care for the dog while she is in the breeding program, she is to be immediately returned to the Breeders.
If, at the Breeders discretion, the dog is removed from the Breeding Program, the dog may live permanently with the Caregivers on the condition that she is spayed at the Caregivers' expense and ownership will be transferred into the Caregivers names. Transfer of ownership fees will be at the Breeders expense.
After the dog has completed the breeding program outlined above, she will be spayed at the Caregivers expense and the Breeders will then transfer ownership of the dog into the Caregivers names.
