Is A breeder allowed to...

[GoldenRetrieverLover_01]

Pretty soon my family and I are going away on holidays where dogs are not allowed. We have to give our Golden Retriever (Buddy) to a breeder to dog-sit. In our contract with the breeder it says we are not allowed to neuter Buddy or breed him. So he is not neutered...When my mom was talking to the breeder on the phone she asked if Buddy was neuetered. My mom said no. I think the breeder said something else, though I don't remember and my mom said that she may use our dog to breed puppies with one of her dogs. Is she ( the breeder) allowed to do that without our permission? I personally, I'm not quite sure about the other members of my family do not want her to breed him. Can she breed Buddy without our permission and can I tell her that I don't want her to breed him? What if she does it anyways, I don't think there's really a way of knowing if she will or not, it's not like she'll tell us if she does it. Please post, I need some answers.

Is there no where else for Buddy to go? I'm not sure of the legalities but I wouldn't have thought she could use him without your permission. Having said that, if you don't think you can trust her I'd be inclined to find somewhere else

[GoldenRetrieverLover_01]

No, we tried other places- but people are away on vacation too. The breeder is a good person it's just...I dun know. He's already booked in with her.

Is Buddy being boarded at his breeders? If so and he is on breeders terms she is allowed to breed from him.

[Lexi_Lover]

Did you try the vet's? Many vets do board animals, I'd try there, it would be your best bet.

I don't think she would be aloud to do that, you would need to charge stud fee, the vet's ok, making sure, eyes, hips, elbows, etc, are all cleared. She isn't a very responsible vet if shes not going to check for that. Hmm...

[GoldenRetrieverLover_01]

Ya, like she's dog sitting him- that's boarding right? How is that fair that she is allowed to breed him? It's our dog isn't it?

[GoldenRetrieverLover_01]

No, we don't want to leave him at the vets, the breeder would take better care of him except for the breeding part of course

[Lexi_Lover]

Hmm...well I would think that a vet would take good care, especially with all of their staff. Just my guess! We have a REALLY nice boarding kennel nearby us called the Paw-N-DA-rosa. Its so neat! I know of many boarders, if you PM'ed me with where you live in Ontario, I could help you. Or, bring him to a Dog Grooming place or another Golden breeder!

[GoldenRetrieverLover_01]

I'm pretty sure it's final that he's staying with the breeder...too late to change anything now. I trust her except with the breeding thing...maybe I'll just ask her not to breed him though. Do you think that would work?

[finn's mom]

If there were papers signed and that was one of the agreements when you all got Buddy, then, she is allowed to breed him. I would look more into what you all agreed to when you got your dog. I've heard of it before, and, as long as it's something that was agreed to, then she has the right. That would be the only reason the breeder would ask for him not to be neutered, was if she wanted him to breed. And, it would make sense that she wouldn't allow the dog to be bred by just anyone or with just any dog. But, again, if it is in the contract, unfortunately, that's how it goes. Let us know what you find out! And, what happens....

[Lexi_Lover]

It probably will, if you show her how much you care about your dog and that you are against breeding him without everything that needs to be certified and checked. Like I said before, hips, eyes, elbows, ears, etc. Stud fee(if there is one) Why wouldn't she let you neuter him?

Again is the breeder that he is boarding with his breeder?

[Lexi_Lover]

I think he is Rhi. It was the breeder that bred him and adopted him out to their family. Correct me if I am wrong.

[GoldenRetrieverLover_01]

Yes, the breeder that he is boarding with is his breeder. I don't know if there were papers signed that she could breed him... I just know in our contract it says we cannot breed him or neueter him. Anyway, he is going to the breeders on Friday and will be back next Saturday, August 6. I'll just ask her not to breed him...I'll let you know how things turned out although I guess I'll never really know is she bred him. Poor guy...Buddy is going to be so homesick- this is the first time ever we are leaving him behind.
