GUARDIANSHIP ARRANGEMENTS WITH BREEDERS
———————————————————————————-
Once again, we see something that 100% ethical breeders utilize be used by unethical breeders for their greed.
This is not just about the client getting a dog for no adoption fee.
This is also about dogs well being, the breeding conditions, the health standards.
This setup can very easily be used for unscrupulous purposes if the public are not very aware of what the agreement requires.
Just think about how a backyard breeder or small commercial breeder could use this program to drastically reduce their overhead costs and have an abundant “product”!

PEOPLE CONSIDERING ENTERING INTO A GUARDIANSHIP PROGRAM WITH A BREEDER – READ THE CONTRACT VERY VERY CAREFULLY !!!!
——————————————
I have spoken to breeders who I personally know who are completely ethical and breed for the love of the breed – NOT to make money.
They said a red flag is the number of litters required to fulfil your contractual obligation. If the breeder is requiring more than 2 litters then this is concern. And a litter is A litter. A litter is not defined by the number of puppies born.
Another red flag, is the length of the contract if a number of litters is not mentioned.
