I'd like to think so too Rainy, unfortunately, I've come across too many puppy buyers willing to ignore advice, because they want that puppy, and they want that colour, right now. Hopefully, a contract would work both ways, if it were a legal requirement to only buy dogs, cats etc, under contract, that would (I'm sure) cut down the byb's and puppy farmers overnight, and stop people who aren't suitable from owning dogs just buying them on a whim.
Just as an aside, was out on site earlier, and sat chatting with my boss whilst in my little white van, letting him know what I'd got completed etc. I watched in horror, as a little JRT/chihuhua bitch, with swinging teats, trotted past the van several times, at one point with a fully wrapped mini pizza in her mouth. What on earth are the owners thinking allowing this bitch to wander, and obviously breed?? People like that don't deserve to own dogs, but there are now current laws against it, unfortunately
