Purchaser agrees to spay/neuter the puppy before it reaches nine months of age. Purchaser agrees to supply Seller with a veterinarian's letter by certified mail as proof of a spayed/neuter. Upon receipt of proof of spay/neuter, seller will provide purchaser with the appropriate AKC Application form. If Purchaser fails to spay/neuter this puppy and provide proof to the Seller by one year of age, rights and ownership of the dog will automatically terminate and revert back to Seller who may immediately assume possession of the dog. All funds paid by Purchaser are forfeited. Seller's reasonable attorney's fees for recovery of the dog and other recovery expenses will be paid by the Purchaser.

It is understood by all parties to this agreement that this puppy of the above specified description is of pet quality and is eligible for AKC registering following the execution of this Spay/Neuter contract. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this puppy will be registered by limited registration.

When to spay/neuter: Generally this should be done when the puppy has reached at least (six months) for a female and (seven months) for a male. The older the dog, the more able it will be to withstand the anesthesia. There is no need to wait for a female to have her first heat cycle before she is spayed. In fact, you can avoid the problems associated with estrus by spaying her before it occurs. There is also no need to wait for the male to become sexually mature. Please request the advice of your veterinarian.

Why spay/neuter: Fixing your dog prevents pregnancy and the birth of unwanted puppies. It avoids the need to restrain the dog during estrus. It keeps both sexes from roaming away from your house in search of a mate. It reduces the tendency of male dogs to urinate in the house, marking his territory. Licensing fees are also cheaper. Additionally, it avoids reproductive-related problems such as tumors, pyrometer, false pregnancy, prostate infections, and old-age cancers.

Why should this dog be spayed/neutered any puppy sold as a (Pet) is sold at a lower price and on a non-breeding basis. This condition may be specified either by ourselves or the buyer this does not mean that this puppy is an inferior dog. This puppy is as capable as any of its littermates of becoming a lovable, well-trained, and perfectly happy dog. This puppy is simply being sold for pet placement. At this early age it is very difficult to predict with certainty the potential of any pup. Given the proper amount of love and attention, nothing should prevent this puppy from becoming an excellent companion and family member.
