this only applies btw to those who don't sell dogs "as a business".


All I could find on TC's website is this
Quote:
There are no special laws that apply to a contract for the buying and selling of a dog.
Which reads to me exactly what it say's! No special laws regarding the enforcement of puppy sales contracts!

Quote:
So by the New Owners signing and us as the Breeders signing it therefore makes the contract legally binding.


Sorry, but it wouldn't without being witnessed, and even then you could be left severely out of pocket and still less your pup should you ever find yourself in the position of taking puppy buyers to court, there are no hard and fast rules where puppy sales contracts are concerned, and, even as a breeder there is no safe guarantee that should you ever have to petition a puppy buyer to court that anyones puppy sales agreement would stand up within that court of law!
