The stud dog will attempt to service the bitch at least two times. In
the event that the bitch cannot be bred naturally, Breeder may request
that the bitch be artificially inseminated. If such is the case, Stud
Dog Owner will have the bitch artificially inseminated by a licensed
veterinarian of their choice and Breeder will reimburse Stud Dog Owner
for all costs involved with this procedure.
Stud Dog Owner will provide Breeder with a written synopsis of the bitch`s
behavior during her stay at the Stud Dog Owner`s facilities. This will
outline eating habits, interaction with people and dogs on the premises

dates, times, and length of ties of each breeding that occurs.
FEE:
The stud
fee for this breeding is $_____________ to be paid on/before the time
the bitch arrives at the Stud Dog Owner`s residence. ALL STUD FEES ARE
NON-REFUNDABLE.
It is hereby guaranteed that said bitch will whelp a litter of at least
2 live puppies. If a litter of less than 2 pups is whelped, or it is
necessary to cull the litter to fewer than 2 pups due to merle white
color or excessive white markings, a free return service will be given.
Should 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 because of lack of white
trim, the Stud Dog Owner will not be obligated to give a return service.
NOTE: Live puppies mean over 96 hours (4 days) old.
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 Stud Dog Owner 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 less than two live pups. The guarantee
of 2 live pups is considered fulfilled when the bitch whelps a total
of two pups from the original breeding and the free return service (s).
Should said stud die, or become unable to sire a litter, the owner of
the stud retains the right to grant a free service (as noted above)
to another of their studs.

puppy" of said litter, the following applies: $50.00 non- refundable
deposit is paid to Stud Dog Owner when contract has been signed by both
parties. Breeder will forward Stud Dog Owner several close-up detailed
pictures of the litter during different periods of growth from 3 wks

no puppies in said litter will be "promised", kept or sold
until Stud Dog Owner has made their pick. Stud Dog Owner does agree
to make a pick in the most timely fashion possible.
Any puppy picked by Stud Dog Owner in lieu of monetary stud fee will
carry the Image Kennel name unless an agreement has been made between
both parties prior to the breeding taking place.
