>Also, it avoids us holding money and owing them a free, repeat breeding. I know of people who have gotten into some problems over free repeat breedings when the first one didn't work out.<
Myra & List - I think the post dated check is a good deal, actually... As someone who signed a stud contract (different breed) that �guaranteed� a repeat breeding at no additional fee if my bitch did not take - when no puppies were produced I contacted the stud owners. They told me to call them next season & they�d breed her again. Next time I called, they informed me they (unexpectedly) �had to neuter him� - but offered me a different stud dog - who was unacceptable to me (not the pedigree I wanted). I kept asking for a refund to no avail. I finally confronted them at a dog show & asked for my money (we�re talking $1,000). The husband took the wife aside & convinced her to refund most of it (they kept some for boarding & a �service fee�), but it was not a pretty picture. Needless to say I was at the bank bright & early the next morning to cash the check. With the one litter of Cavaliers I have produced, the stud dog owners were wonderful to deal with. We exchanged pedigrees, photos, heart, hip, eye, & patella certificates & I did a brucellosis test on my bitch. A very reasonable fee was exchanged, puppies arrived, & all went smooth. I hope next time is as amicable!
