     photographs.

     cycle.

Stud Fees/Expenses
1.  A stud fee of  $1500 shall be payable in full prior to the first mating or insemination by cash or certified check
    unless other arrangements are made beforehand between the beeder and stud dog owner. 
    **Bitches that have passed OFA Hip and Elbow certification, as well as having been Cardiology cleared by a
    board certified cardiologist and passed a current CERF (within 12 months of breeding) or have an advanced
    working title (CDX, TDX, SchI, AX, HX) may deduct $100.  Total discounts shall not exceed $200.
2. Bitch owner is responsible for any and all fees associated with breeding, including, but not limited to 
    veterinary Services, shipping fees, ovulation timing or artificial insemination fees.
3. The owner of the Stud Dog guarantees that the Bitch whelp 2 live puppies.  If the Bitch fails to whelp or 
    whelps less than two live puppies, the owner of the Bitch must notify the Stud Dog owner within 7 days of the
    expected whelp date.  In these cases, the Stud Dog owner will provide one repeat stud service to this Bitch  
    or a substitute Bitch owned or co-owned by the same owner.  In the case of a substitute Bitch, all
    requirements of the original contract must be met.  In the case that the Bitch changes ownership, there is no 
    obligation on the part of the Stud Dog owner to provide a repeat service.
4. If, after the second mating/insemination, the Bitch again fails to whelp, the Stud Dog owner will offer services
   of Stud Dog, only after the Bitch has undergone examination by a reproductive veterinarian and has had
   ovulation timing.  Any attempt to mate/inseminate after the second unsuccessful mating/insemination, will be
   at no expense to the Stud Dog owner.  In this case, Bitch owner will also incur the expense of semen
   collection if the bitch is to be inseminated.

    Dog owner prior to first mating taking place.  Furthermore, Bitch owner agrees to sell any puppy with a 
    disqualifying fault per the FCI standard, on an AKC limited registration.  For Bitch owners residing in
    Canada, pups must be sold on "non-breeding" contracts, which can be lifted once pups grow into dogs
    worthy of breeding.  No puppy may be sold either directly, or indirectly, to any party outside of North America
2. Bitch owner agrees to assume responsibility for any resultant pups for their lifetimes and agrees to accept 
    any puppy that is returned.  Bitch owner further agrees to notify Stud Dog owner of any puppy, which  results 
    from this breeding, that cannot be kept by it's original owner.  In such cases, Stud Dog owner is entitled to 
    the "first right of refusal" in the case that the Bitch owner cannot keep the puppy.

    of transfer of ownership and also agrees to provide each purchaser with the name, address and phone
    number of the Stud Dog owner in the form of a letter which will be provided by the Stud Dog owner.
4. Bitch owner agrees not to knowingly sell a puppy to a pet store, animal wholesaler or broker. 

Stud Dog owner reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.  All fees are payable in US funds.

Furthermore, Stud Dog owner reserves the right to refuse to breed any bitch that is aggressive to any person while attempting to breed naturally or artificially.  In this case, full stud fee, less $200 for expenses, will be refunded.

In breeding animals, there is always a risk that one may be injured during the process.  Bitch owner agrees to hold the stud dog harmless from any liability or damage.  In addition, the Bitch owner understands that the Stud Dog owner accepts no liability for the actions of this Bitch while in their care, including but not limited to personal injury or property damage.  

It is specifically agreed that Esmond Rottweilers is not required to sign the application for registration of a resulting litter until such time as all expenses and stud fees are paid and all conditions of this contract are executed. 

Any further agreement between the parties is set forth below:
