What should I expect in a Bully puppy sales contract from a breeder?

Question

Accepted Answer

When you sign a Bully puppy sales contract, you’ll see clear terms that protect both you and the breeder. First, there’s usually a deposit clause that secures your puppy and outlines whether it’s refundable or transferable if plans change. You’ll find a health guarantee - most reputable breeders promise the pup is free from genetic diseases for a specified period (often 12–24 months) and require you to get a health check by a licensed veterinarian within a week or two of bringing the puppy home.

Contracts also detail vaccination and deworming schedules, confirming your puppy received age-appropriate shots before pickup. If the breeder offers registration paperwork (UKC, ABKC, etc.), the contract specifies who will handle the paperwork and when you’ll receive the papers. Many contracts include a spay/neuter clause, requiring you to alter your puppy by a certain date unless you purchase breeding rights.

Expect a return policy: if, for any reason, you can’t keep the puppy, you agree to return it to the breeder rather than surrender it to a shelter. Finally, look for buyer responsibilities - such as feeding guidelines, socialization recommendations, or microchipping requirements - and any non-disclosure or non-compete clauses (for example, you won’t sell the puppy to a pet store or broker).

Reading and understanding each section ensures you know exactly what’s expected—from initial deposit through lifetime support and health guarantees - so you and your new Bully start off on the right paw.
