(For a Male dog) This is a SAMPLE Co-OWN contract, and many times we can negotiate the terms involved. I'm a pretty flexible with some of the terms of this agreement. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask. As well as the attached pet contract, the Buyer agrees to the following: 1. Dog must remain unaltered, intact and available for stud use for the agreed amount of stud services, or the agreed amount of years (see below in blue.) or until 2. Breeder prefers that the dog is altered after the contract has been fulfilled. Cost of altering is the responsibility of the Buyer. Buyer must provide proof of neuter to the Breeder in order to obtain transfer of registered ownership papers. 3. If Buyer decides to keep dog intact, then the dog remains a co-owned dog. The buyer may not allow breeding of dog to any other dog without written authorization from breeder. If breeder and buyer agree to any stud service after the agreed upon contract, the stud fee generated will be split 50/50 between the Breeder and the Buyer/co-owner. 4. Dog must be kept in good health, not become overweight while under contract, and groomed on a regular basis enough to keep the dog healthy. Generally, grooming consists of brushing the coat monthly, and keeping nails trimmed. 5. Dog must not be allowed to breed to any dog other than a dog(bitch) the Breeder has chosen. 6. Dog must be properly confined during times he is unattended or under control as to not allow him to reproduce accidentally. A fenced back yard is preferred. You may not offer the dog to anyone else to use as a stud unless approved by breeder. 7. Dog must be available to Breeder for breeding purposes. Advance notice will be provided. Dog will stay with Breeder or owner of dog(bitch) to be bred, for a minimum of 1 day to a maximum of 10 days for each servicing. Note: The dog may need to travel out of town for stud service. Average being 6 days. For stud dogs in same city, dog will be returned each day. Breeder will screen every bitch owner to ensure they are a responsible breeder and that the stud dog’s accommodation and care are satisfactory and the bitch is healthy. 8. Breeder is responsible for providing quality care to the stud dog while in her care and ensuring the dog receives quality care while in possession of a bitch owner. 9. Dog is registered in Breeders name as the registered owner of the dog until the Co-Own part of this contract is fulfilled. This contract is fulfilled when dog has been neutered. Breeder will then transfer ownership of the dog to Buyer and send Buyer the registration papers. 10. Approximately around 12 to 36 months old, the dog may have his eyes and hips tested to be sure he is suitable for breeding purposes. It is the choice of the Breeder whether to allow stud service before hip testing. Breeder will cover the cost of hip and eye testing. Also, any other test required in order for this dog to be used as a stud dog, will be the responsibility of the Breeder. All other Vet costs including regular or emergency care, vaccinations, medications, and care, are the responsibility of the Buyer for the life of the dog. 11. This dog is your pet/companion. He will live with you and be your dog for his lifetime. All costs of food, training, grooming, toys, boarding fees, etc., are the responsibility of the Buyer. 12. Buyer agrees to allow Breeder to show dog in conformation shows until he receives the title of Champion (or agrees to have dog titled in Agility, Flyball, Disc Dog or some other form of titling.)

Breeder reserves the right to decide not to show or title the dog in any way. 13. No stud fee will be ever be paid to Buyer for studding to one of the Breeder’s dogs. (Follow Me Aussies dogs or co-owned dogs.) Note: The more Best of Breed, or Champion wins or Titles a dog receives, the more attractive he will be to other breeders, and therefore, more breeders will want to use him as a stud. If the Buyer wishes to keep the dog intact after our period of agreement, the breeder will pay the buyer 50% of any stud fee received for any stud services served beyond our agreement. Each stud still needs to be approved by Breeder. 14. Buyer agrees to either provide photos of dog (preferably “stacked”) at regular intervals until this contract is fulfilled, one photo at 7-9 months of age, one at one year of age, and one at 2 years of age, or, allow Breeder access to dog at these regular intervals for photographing the dog. 15.
