Pricing and Contracts

NOTE: NEMDA does not get involved in pricing or contracts - this is strictly coordinated by the Code of Ethics Breeders on an individual basis.

The Entlebucher Mountain Dog is considered to be a Rare Breed and this is ultimately reflected in the price.

A Sales Contract is important as it protects both the buyer and the breeder and should outline all that is expected of both parties:

Terms of sale
Guarantees the breeder offers – i.e. Health Issues, returns
Responsibilities expected of the buyer
Responsibilities of the Breeder
Documentation that will be given
If a pet only there will be a spay/neuter clause
If for breeding there will be a breeding clause
Puppies will be tattooed/microchipped before leaving the breeder
Violation of Terms of Sale clause

A contract is a binding document and must be completely understood what the buyer’s responsibilities will be and those of the breeder at the time of signing

One of the most important aspects of the Sales Contract is the Guarantees – ensure that you understand exactly what they are and what they include. Remember to ask questions for clarification.

No Breeder can guarantee that a puppy will grow up to be a perfect specimen with no health issues. They can only insure:

that all ethical breeding practices have been adhered to
health and genetic issues closely followed
pups have been kept in a healthy and socialized environment
shots have been administered on time
tattoo/microchip has been done
documentation is complete
