Not too many owners are willing to give up their pet. Personally, I wouldn t disrupt the owners lives nor the puppy s by requiring that. I really don t like having adults to place anyway unless it s a necessity. A few breeders even state the first dog must be returned to them for euthanization before a replacement is given. Few owners would agree to that.
Refunds are another story.
Though we certainly aren t in this for the money, it becomes difficult to continue breeding if financial losses mount up. It s often more important for friends to have everything in black and white. Relationships tend to dissolve faster than yellow snow when a misunderstanding develops because an issue wasn t clarified on paper pre-purchase. Putting it all down on paper isn t the last step, however. The time to ask about or object to a clause is prior to the incident, not following.
