GUARDIAN AGREEMENT

  

Honeybee Lane Doodles LLC

 

This Guardian Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Honeybee Lane Doodles LLC, owned and operated by Dylan Bowin (“Breeder”), and the undersigned “Guardian.”

 

The intent of this Agreement is to place a dog with the Guardian at no purchase price for inclusion in the Breeder’s breeding program under the terms set forth below.

 

 

 

 

1. OWNERSHIP & BREEDING RIGHTS

 

The dog shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Dylan Bowin / Honeybee Lane Doodles LLC until the Breeder’s licensed veterinarian determines the dog is no longer suitable for breeding.
Females are typically bred three to four (3–4) times, though depending on the dog this may range from one to four (1–4) litters.
Breeder reserves the right to breed back-to-back litters when deemed appropriate.
Upon completion of breeding, the dog will be spayed or neutered at the Breeder’s expense, and ownership will then be transferred to the Guardian after all paperwork is signed.
Guardian has no ownership interest or breeding rights in any puppies produced by the dog.

  

2. GUARDIAN COMPENSATION

 

For female dogs only, Guardian will receive $500 per litter, payable after all puppies are sold.
If a litter does not survive or does not sell for any reason, no compensation is owed.
No compensation is paid for male dogs.
Guardian must have the dog in their care at least four (4) months and the breeding must occur during that time to receive compensation.
If puppies do not sell for any reason, compensation for that litter is forfeited.

Monthly deworming and heartworm prevention is required at all times.
Oral flea/tick preventatives are discouraged; Seresto collars preferred unless vet-directed.
