Every puppy I have ever bred/sold as a pet companion has been placed under signed neutering agreement, and since the AKC Non-breeding registration option has been available, all pet/puppies are AKC registered under that option as well...no "exceptions". And, yes, I do have a clause in each agreement (whether pet/companion or show potential) that states if for any reason the buyer can no longer keep the puppy, I have first option of taking it back/re-homing it. EVERY puppy I've ever bred has been lead-trained by age 10-12 weeks, and my Cavaliers puppies have an opthamologists' exam/clearance as well as lead, collar, dish, toys, food, crate, training book, breed book, and written overview of raising/training plus all the vaccination records and recommendations regarding future vaccinations (such as NO rabies vaccination prior to age 6 months). Every inquiry I receive has a response (eventually) and without filling out a puppy-buyer's questionnaire, I do not offer anything further. More and more, I require a questionnaire filled out prior to a referral to other breeders in my area as well. I do not generally sell puppies to homes outside of the New England area as there are many reputable breeders in all areas of USA and I hold firmly to my policy that no one should have to look for a pet/companion puppy "all over the USA". As for pet companion puppy prices, I tell all inquiries that the average is $1500 for a healthy, well-raised puppy of around 10-12 weeks old from health-tested parents.
