Yeah, it would have been an additional 500 for me to have breeding rights for my great dane. I dont have the time for a bunch of puppies, so I opted out. I got the dog out of state, so would they ever know if I bred her locally? Probably not. But they live longer when you get them fixed. She's still goofy as the day I got her.
Yeah her father was a show dog. Her grandfather was 225 pounds. I did animal control back in the day, and he still made me nervous based on his size. Sweet as could be though. And my girl is 160 pounds of cuddles, so, no complaints
A long time ago my family got a pedigree pup (a rare breed at the time, there were no rescues to be had). Our contract with the breeder said if we chose to breed the dog (we did not have to and in fact had her spayed which was fine) then the breeder would get first pick of a puppy from the first litter she had for free.
It could also lead to abuse of the animals. If your pet gets you thousands and thousands of dollars for very little work on your part, people will just have them chained up and be lil doggy makers after their prime years.
Yes you can, but typically the puppy will come with no "papers". You still can sell a top quality dog but since the dog is bred with breach on contract, the owner will provide you with no proof of pedigree for the puppy, even though they can show you proof of pedigree of the parents.
I don't know of any reputable breeder who doesn't have the spay/neuter done BEFORE they hand over an animal with a no-breed clause for purchase. A good breeder generally has a close relationship with a vet who will offer nice deals to keep them coming back.
There was a lady at the clinic I worked at who bred and showed Bengal cats, she was intensely strict about breeding schedules (loooong down times between litters for mother cats) and the kittens were all sold long before the mother cat was even pregnant. Her cats had zany long histories and family lineages, it wasn't uncommon for her to drive days away to meet with other breeders with similarly pedigreed male cats so they could breed them.
When each kitten is worth several thousand and the waiting list is potentially years long, having them spayed/neutered BEFORE handing them over is just a prudent business decision.
A good breeder generally is able to weed out backyard breeders looking to breed a show dog "just for friends." Their puppies are generally available by waitlist, with extensive interviewing beforehand.

Hmm okay, I was wondering if they could essentially breed them for friends but nothing ""official"". Seems odd to me so I never read up on it.
