TERMS OF CONTRACT
1.All shipping and veterinary charges are the responsibility of the owner of the bitch.  Ovulation tests are advised to assure the highest rate of conception.  Bitch is to be current on vaccines and free of parasites.
2.Breeding will occur at the Stud Owner’s address unless other, mutually agreeable arrangements are made.
3.If it is necessary for the Bitch to remain with Stud Owners for longer than five (5) days, a daily boarding fee of $15.00 per day, for each excess day may be due to the Stud Owners.
4.The stud fee is due and payable at the time the bitch is brought in for service unless other arrangements have been made in advance. ALL STUD FEES ARE NONREFUNDABLE.
5.Owner of the bitch hereby agrees to provide the owner of the stud with a color photo of said bitch, complete pedigree, copies of hip and eye certifications and/or a letter from a qualified veterinarian that said bitch is free from hip dysplasia, and a letter from a qualified veterinarian stating that said bitch has been tested and found free of brucellosis within 2 weeks of the breeding date.
6.TWO LIVE and healthy breed standard puppies are guaranteed on bitches seven years of age and younger.  ONE LIVE and healthy pup is guaranteed on bitches eight years of age and older.  If no live and healthy breed standard puppy(ies) is(are) produced as beforenamed, then the bitch may be rebred on her next heat cycle ("rebreeding").  If no live and healthy breed standard puppy(ies)  is(are) produced from the rebreeding, the stud fee is forfeited by the BITCH OWNER.  Should no live and healthy breed standard puppy be produced from the first breeding and the BITCH is not rebred on her next heat cycle to the STUD, then BITCH OWNER forfeits the stud fee.  NOTE: If the chosen STUD should die, become ill, sterile or too old to reproduce, or severely injured such that it would negate his standing at stud  before the rebreeding, BITCH OWNER may choose from another stud listed above or forfeit the STUD FEE.  If less than 2 pups survive due to negligence on the part of the owner of the bitch, or due to death from distemper or other disease, or if the litter is culled to fewer than 2 pups, the owner of the stud will not be obligated to give a free return service.
7.Any free return service (as noted above) will be given ONLY to the bitch noted in this contract. Should said bitch die or become unable to conceive or carry a litter, the owner of the stud is no longer obligated to offer a free return service. The offer of a free return service is only good for 1 year from the whelping date of the litter of less than two pups or the expected due date. The guarantee of 2 live pups is considered fulfilled when the bitch whelps a total of 2 pups from the original breeding and the free return service(s).
8.If a pick of litter pup is to be given in lieu of a cash stud fee or the stud owner reaches an agreement with the owner of the bitch to purchase a pup, said pup will be chosen at 7 weeks of age. In either case, said pup may carry only the stud owner’s kennel name, at the sole discretion of the stud owner. The owner of the bitch guarantees that said pup will be free of disqualifying faults as written in the Australian Shepherd Club of America breed standard, and that said pup will be free of hip dysplasia and hereditary eye defects. Owner of bitch agrees to provide a replacement pup should said pup develop one of these problems.  If fewer than two pups survive (as noted above), the owner of the stud may choose the option to take pick of litter from the free return service, rather than from the first service. NO PUPS ARE TO BE SOLD UNTIL THE OWNER OF THE STUD HAS SEEN THE LITTER (EITHER IN PERSON OR BY PHOTOS), AND HAS MADE THE PICK OF LITTER CHOICE.
9.Owner of the bitch hereby agrees that any excessively white marked pups, (i.e. white on ears, white over eyes, white body splashes, white stifles carrying up into the body color) which are not culled at birth, will be sold as pets and must be spayed or neutered by 7 months of age. Violation of this contract clause in any way may result in the stud owner’s refusing to complete the litter registration form(s).
10.Should said stud die, or become unable to sire a litter, the owner of the stud retains the right to grant a free return service (as noted above) to another of his or her other studs.
11.Owner of the bitch hereby agrees to furnish the owner of the stud with color photos of all surviving pups in the litter. Owner of the stud is not obligated to sign litter registration form(s) until said photos are received and unless the stud fee and any other expenses have been paid in full.
12.Every precaution is taken to protect the bitch from illness, accident, fire, and theft. Owner of the bitch hereby agrees that the owner of the stud will not be held liable for any illness, accident, fire, theft or death of said bitch while under the care of the owner of the stud.
