Puppy contract

If the credit card thing is a big deal, I think instead I will ask for their place of employment and phone numbers of 10 references. I bet that would make it easy to track someone down.

E=mail it to cataholic she is a lawyer here in the states maybe she could help you out. I don't think she gets to the dog side much.

TALK TO A LAWYER!

References? No big deal. Place of employment? No way.

The main reason for speaking to a lawyer when writing a contract like this is to make sure that the contract is legal and enforceable. The US has stringent (not stringent enough, but) privacy laws that strictly define what you can and cannot ask for in relation to a contract, and what you can do with that data, how long you can keep it, etc. I'm sure Canada has similar laws in effect.

Not trying to be mean, nasty or offensive, but if you are this concerned with the ability to get the puppy back from the owner, are you sure you should be breeding? At some point you have to be able to let go.

over all its a great contract, the credit card bit is the only one that worries me, I would NEVER give out my credit card number. I know you, and I know you would not go useing peoples numbers, but if you were a total stranger to me and I wanted a puppy, and was told to give my credit card info I would go "scam" and walk right out the door.
