Adoption contract

Basenji Talk
  • misspodhradskyM

    Hello,

    I was just wondering. After you get everything done, or before (depending on what you want to do yourself) - all the health tests done, the stud found, the puppies on a waiting list, and so on and so forth,- how do you come up with the adoption contract? What information should someone put into it? Why do different kennels have different contracts/applications. How do you go about pricing a puppy? What is considered responsible breeding and what is considered BYB/puppy mill.

    Please be kind and do not attack me with accusations and lectures about breeding. I am only asking in a wanting-to-learn way. I appreciate all the help in advance and i look forward to hearing from other basenji lovers.

    Thanks so much,
    miss pod

    Sorry, but I believe that dogs' health should come first. I understand the dilemma that it puts shelters and rescue agencies in, but in general I believe if you can't handle having intact dogs don't get them. Full stop. The more research that is done the more clear it is that we hurt dogs by neutering them. Yes it is annoying to keep a bitch safe once or twice a year when it is in heat, but if you aren't willing to do that why would you get it? Nor should his health suffer because you chose to get a bitch and seem unsure of your ability to keep them separated. I really wish people asked this question before adding an intact dog to their family. The next question is whether you are willing to keep them apart and want help with ideas on how to make it as peceful as possible. Having lived with a male dog that howled the entire time we had a bitch in heat, I can only say that it isn't Fun but it is doable. You can do this!

    How long have you been in this house? Have you tried setting up a place to sleep and hang out downstairs to see if he eventually becomes growly even on the first floor? All electrolytes, including IONIZED CALCIUM are within normal range?

    She looks very sweet, whatever her parentage. We had a lab for 12 years. Sweet mild-mannered dog, a little needy and shed year-round. But great off leash, unlike the curlytails. Labs do tend to be mouthy and need something to chew on more than many breeds, but if she's older (older than 3) she may be beyond that. Either way, good luck with your new friend. Does she have a name yet?
