The point is, that these people did not respect an agreement they signed. They chose to breed to make money - nobody pushed them. As sole owners. would they have listened to someone, when they did not respect an agreement they already made? Not likely.
The non-breeding agreement is to prevent the registration of puppies from dogs that are not felt to be suitable to include in the Cavalier gene pool as examples of the breed (ie pet quality,etc.). In this case it sounds like it would have worked. The non breeding agreement may need to include an agreement to neuter - with proof. Some breeders do not sell until dogs are neutered. There are some people who are profit oriented enough to use a dog which is on a non-breeding, and use another dogs registration for registering puppies. Unfortunately you cannot guarantee against everything, you can only try. A co-ownership is generally useful for a different purpose. > Hi List > I really don't want to continue this but I must observe that if > these people bred a cavalier to a Maltese, obviously the puppies couldn't > be registered and therefore no signatures were needed.
