Once three (3) litters have been born the BREEDER shall have the FRENCH BULLDOG spayed at the GUARDIAN’S expense and full ownership rights shall be turned over to the GUARDIAN.

The GUARDIAN understands that the first breeding will take place after or about 1.25 to 1.75 years of age upon completion of appropriate genetic testing and that the FRENCH BULLDOG will only be bred with the approval of a qualified Veterinarian.

e. The GUARDIAN agrees to work with the BREEDER for all breeding arrangements. We ask Guardian homes to assist with occasional vet appointments related to breeding for things like conducting health clearances, checking progesterone levels, ultrasounds, etc (unless other arrangements are made). All costs associated with breeding (vet checks, appts, etc) are responsibility of BREEDER.

f. As a way of showing appreciation, the GUARDIAN will receive “financial compensation” (with a 1099 at year end) whenever their female is left with Long Lake Frenchies for births and whelping of puppies in the amount of $300 for the 1st breeding, $400 for the 2nd breeding, and $500 for the 3rd breeding. The Guardian dog must be in a Guardian home for over 6 months to qualify for their first financial compensation. In the event in which there are no living puppies there will be no financial compensation given.

i. The GUARDIAN is responsible for keeping the FRENCH BULLDOG adequately contained and supervised during heat cycles and to inform the BREEDER immediately upon the start of any (and every) heat cycle. If they so desire, the GUARDIAN may opt to have the FRENCH BULLDOG stay at the BREEDER’S home during heat cycles.

j. The BREEDER reserves the right to make all breeding decisions including choice of stud, method of breeding (which will always be invitro), and mid term ultrasounds or end of term x-rays. The final decision for all sales shall rest with the BREEDER.

k. The adult FRENCH BULLDOG shall be delivered to the BREEDER’S house one week before her due date and shall remain with the BREEDER until the pups are 6-8 weeks of age and then the FRENCH BULLDOG shall be returned to the GUARDIAN family. The GUARDIAN family shall be permitted to visit the FRENCH BULLDOG weekly during this period provided they take requested precautions to ensure the puppies safety. (If mutually agreed upon by BREEDER and GUARDIAN the puppies may be whelped by the GUARDIAN family.)

l. All puppies whelped shall be the sole property of the BREEDER and the GUARDIAN shall not be entitled to any financial interest or ownership of the puppies. If the GUARDIAN decides to adopt another puppy, the second puppy is half price if a pet and if applied and accepted into our Guardian Program the $1000 fee will be reduced to $500 (non refundable)

m. The BREEDER agrees that no puppies shall ever be sold to a pet store or a research lab.

n. If for some reason the FRENCH BULLDOG is unable to conceive for multiple cycles or does not pass health testing to BREEDERS satisfaction the GUARDIAN shall have the option of keeping it as a spayed family pet or returning it to the BREEDER.

o. Should the GUARDIAN breed the puppy at any time without permission or allow it to be bred unsupervised during a heat then the BREEDER shall 4 have the right to repossess the FRENCH BULLDOG and the agreement shall be null and void. Further all pups produced from such breeding shall be the sole property of the BREEDER.

p. The GUARDIAN shall inform the BREEDER in advance of taking any extended trips (over 7 days duration) with the FRENCH BULLDOG. Should the timing of a vacation fall during a time when a heat is anticipated the GUARDIAN shall bring the FRENCH BULLDOG to board with the BREEDER at no cost for the duration of the the GUARDIANS absence.

Failure to maintain a reasonable weight (as determined by a veterinarian) shall null and void this agreement and the BREEDER shall have the right to repossess the FRENCH BULLDOG. In such an event every opportunity shall and will be given the GUARDIAN to correct the weight problem, as well as a veterinary diet, if necessary.
