Co-owner Responsibilities
- The Co-owner must take
full responsibility for said Bitch’s care. All vaccination records
must be available for Breeder’s inspection. The Bitch must also have
all regular boosters and immunizations (appropriate to your lifestyle
and regional area).
- The Co-owner must give
the Bitch proper nutritional concern, referring to New Zion Shiloh’s
Nutritional Agreement. If Co-owner has any questions regarding
feedings or nutrients, please contact Ms. Barber.
- In the event of
accident or injury, the Co-owner must immediately inform the Breeder
of Bitch’s condition. Any necessary veterinary or hospital charges
are the responsibility of the Co-owner.
- The Co-owner is
responsible for registering the Bitch for both Puppy and Adult ISSR
numbers in a timely manner. Please refer to the Puppy Registration
Letter for additional information.
- The Co-owner must agree
to give the Bitch proper socialization for mental health and
stability. Please refer to New Zion Shiloh’s Socialization
Agreement. Failure to adhere to this responsibility could jeopardize
the Bitch’s breeding status.
Bitch Qualifications for Breeding
-
Bitch
must have adult registration papers from the International Shiloh
Shepherd™ Registry, and must be over 19 months of age (prior to
conception).
-
Bitch
must be certified clear of Canine Hip Dysplasia by either OFA or Penn
Hip radiographs or approved by the Breed Warden. Results should be
shared with Stud owner.
-
Bitch

-
Bitch
should have no disqualifying faults as per breed standard and must
have breeding status from the Breed Warden.
-

days of the expected breeding.
-
Bitch
Co-owner certifies that said Bitch has not been exposed to any other
Stud Dog from the start of her heat cycle, and is in good health.
Natural
Breedings
Bitch
Co-Owner Responsibilities
-
Bitch
co-owner is responsible for transportation of Bitch to and from Stud Dog
owner’s care.
-
Special
dietary needs must be reported to Stud owner and are the
responsibility of Bitch co-owner (eq. supplements, food allergies, etc.)
-
Bitch
co-owner must have knowledge of Bitch’s heat cycle and ovulation for
good timing between Bitch and Stud.
-
Breeding
between Bitch and Stud should be between five to seven days in length.
After that period, responsibility of said Bitch reverts back to Bitch
co-owner, unless previously agreed upon by breeders. If Stud owner cannot
ship or transport said Bitch on previously agreed upon day, board fees
incurred by Bitch will be Stud owner’s responsibility.
-
Bitch
co-owner must be aware of the physical and nutritional needs a breeding
Bitch MUST HAVE for healthy prenatal care and safe delivery of live
puppies. If the Bitch co-owner is an inexperienced breeder, it is
recommended that she/he be in contact with more experienced
breeders, or have a breeding mentor.
Artificial
Inseminations
Bitch Co-Owner Responsibilities
-
Bitch
co-owner must have ovulation timing tests performed on the Bitch to
determine peak time for conception.
-
Bitch
co-owner must pay for AI kits for Stud Dog, which is usually two kits per
breeding
-
Bitch
co-owner must notify the Stud owner when said Bitch begins her heat
cycle, so a timely semen delivery and other arrangements can be made.
Please note that 48 hours after the initial collection, 50% of
the sperm within the semen sample will be dead. Live sperm is no
longer viable after 72 hours. Frozen sperm is not recommended as, at
this time, it is not very reliable for actual conception.
-
Bitch
co-owner must have immediate, pre-arranged vet appointment set upon
arrival of the semen shipment. The sooner a Bitch can be inseminated
with the live sperm, the better the chances for a conception, and a
healthy, live litter. Bitch should be inseminated twice within a
48-hour period.
-
If
the Bitch does not conceive upon the first insemination breeding, a
second shipment will be sent. Costs incurred by both parties during
this second procedure remain the same.
-
If
Bitch does not conceive with the second AI, a full reproductive exam
must be conducted before additional semen will be shipped.
-
Bitch co-owner may also choose to have a direct in vitro (surgical
sperm implantation) done at his/her expense, but keep an additional
puppy to help defray the costs.
Puppy Sale and Placement
-
The Co-owner agrees to give the Owner/Breeder one-half of the
puppies from the first litter (as per contract guidelines). The
party whelping the litter would keep the “odd” puppy (eq. Bitch
produces seven pups: Breeder keeps three; Co-owner keeps four).
If the Co-owner prefers,
New Zion Shilohs
can whelp the contracted
litter for one extra puppy (plus the “odd” pup, if one occurs).
-
The Co-owner agrees to give
New Zion Shilohs
a minimum of three pups from the afore mentioned Bitch
unless an in vitro breeding was done (as per #7 above). In the
event that there are less than six pups in the first litter, the
Co-owner can choose to pay additional pups to
New Zion Shilohs
, or have the Bitch re-bred
and evenly split one-half of the second litter, thus fulfilling the
contract.
-
The puppies should be delivered to the Breeder in good health at
seven or eight weeks of age for LER inspection. All shipping or
delivery cost, in the event
New Zion Shilohs cannot personally handle the
pups, will be absorbed by the Co-owner. The Breeder reserves the
right to refuse any puppies that are not up to standard within 48
hours of delivery. Any puppies that show symptoms of any contagious
disease or die within ten days will not be responsibility of
New Zion Shilohs
and will not qualify as fulfillment of this contract.
-
In the event that the Co-owner is a licensed breeder (not LBIT),
with the ISSR, the Co-owner can choose to
sell the puppies personally, and the Breeder agrees to send any
prospective customers when available.
New
Zion Shilohs will only charge 20% for any sales
generated by their kennel. The Co-owner agree to give full details
to Breeder as to weight, temperament, etc., and agrees that pups
must be priced as per SSDCA guidelines.
-
If the Co-owner chooses to have his/her pup(s) sold directly from
New Zion Shilohs
, the pups would be taken on consignment for no more than seven
weeks. During that time, the Co-owner must advertise said pups, at
his/her expense, and refer all puppy inquiries to
New Zion Shilohs.
New Zion Shilohs will cover all food and
vaccination/booster costs. Furthermore,
New
Zion Shilohs will provide each pup with our FULL
guarantees
(and other fringe benefits). These pups would then be considered New
Zion progeny and would be the responsibility of
New Zion Shilohs.
The Co-owner would then receive 50% of the actual sale price of the
pup(s), within ten days of sale/delivery of pup.
Legalities
-
In the event the Bitch
is lost, killed, or injured seriously, so as to render her unable to
be bred, in consequence
of any Co-owner negligence, or that of his/her
agents or employees, the sum of $1,000.00 plus estimated
value of lost progeny is to be paid promptly to
the Owner/Breeder as liquidated damages. Further,
the Owner/Breeder shall have the
right to repossess said Bitch. If the Bitch was purchased as an adult,
the
Co-owner would be responsible for the balance of the full value of
the bitch at the time of purchase.
-
Should the Co-owner
find him/herself unable or unwilling to fully comply with the terms of
this contract, with respect to care, breeding, whelping, etc., the
Bitch must be returned to
New Zion
Shilohs forthwith. Failure to return the Bitch under these
circumstances, the Co-owner hereby gives the Breeder the following
options:
A. The Owner/Breeder’s agent may take possession of the Bitch
from the Co-owner’s property, providing the
Bitch is in good health;
and the Co-owner signs the ISSR paperwork completely to the Breeder,
making this contract null and void; or
B. The Owner/Breeder can subject the
Co-owner to liquidated damages in the amount of $5,000.00,
attorney’s fees in the amount of $500.00, and the legal cost of
bringing this action to enforce the terms of the contract.
C. In the event that said
Bitch is used for ay type of breeding outside of the ISSR (with
puppies receiving fraudulent papers), the Co-owner hereby agrees to
pay the Owner/Breeder an agreed upon liquidation amount of $80,000
to represent the potential progeny value that was lost from the ISSR
gene pool.
I have read and understood the
terms and conditions for this contract and agree to abide by them until
such time as the contract is fulfilled.
