You mean a kind of agreement between the breeder and pup owner?
I know Polish breeder who asks the owners to sign such an agreement in which the owner promises that he/she will X-ray the dog against hip dysplasia when it's over 1 year old, will see to the dog's getting the official breeding rights, undertake all costs connected with vaccination and health care, follow the regulations imposed by the national kynological organisation, etc. The agreement also secures the breeder's primary right to buy the dog back in case of serious problems.
I don't know how many breeders draw similar contracts and how much legal power such a document possesses, (if any at all).
It would be interesting to learn what are the selling/buying customs and procedures in various kennels /countries, maybe a common best practice could be set or at least indicated? Or maybe it already exists but I just don't know it... ?
