I agree, but still it's better to have a good contract, than not to have.

Just like it's better to have the kennel/the pup/the dog/ officially registered/ HD, ED, DM, Dwarf tested/ its breeding rights officially obtained and terms of reproduction clearly stated.

Bonitation, trainings, shows, exams are bonuses, but securing the health and welfare of the pup are the most basic and vital obligations of the decent breeder and good owner.

If I were a breeder, in the first place I'd look into having a good contract drawn and signed. One, that would protect my pup as well as possible against all possible misfortunes I could anticipate.

However hard it may be to have it carried out, without a good contract the puppy is completely unprotected and in case of a crisis the breeder can do nothing, even if somebody offered him legal help
