Instructions
List the name of your breeding business at the top of the contract. If you have no name, you can just head the document as a puppy purchase contract. List your address and contact information, and how long you have been breeding and selling puppies.
Include an area to identify the puppy. You should list the puppy's gender, color, breed and date of birth. If your litter is registered, also list the mother's and father's registration numbers. Note the puppies' microchip number if you microchip them.
Write out your specific guarantee that you are giving and any health checkups, shots or worm medicines the puppy has had since birth. State what you expect of the potential purchaser. Some breeders require the purchaser to have the pup checked by a veterinarian within a certain amount of time. This establishes that the puppy was healthy when purchased.
Include any payment types or arrangements you are willing to make. Requiring a deposit to hold the puppy until it is old enough to leave the litter is standard. Add any other payment arrangements you are willing to make.
State what kinds of arrangements you will make to deliver the puppy if the purchaser isn't nearby. If you are willing to travel, state your fees for doing so. If you will ship the dog by air, spell out any requirements you have. If you will not ship, say so in the contract.
End the contract with a place for the seller and the purchaser to sign, along with full contact information on the buyer. Give the contract to the prospective buyer and ask him to read it over thoroughly before signing it. The seller should only sign the contract and give the purchaser a copy when the puppy is picked up or delivered.
How to Write a Puppy Purchase Contract
If you're in the business of raising and selling puppies, you should have a purchase contract for the buyer to read and sign. Even if your pet just happened to drop a litter and you plan to sell them, it's in your best interests to have a contract. The signed contract is verification to you and the purchaser as to what terms are being agreed on by both parties. The puppy purchase contract can be as simple or detailed as you want to make it. Be sure to cover everything in writing that you verbally tell the purchaser.
