Contracts vary greatly among breeders, but they should all contain the basics:

• the puppy’s AKC registration number
• the puppy’s microchip ID number
• names and registration numbers of the sire and dam
• purchase price

While the specific components of a contract can vary based on the breeder's requirements, a typical dog breeder contract includes the following key components:

• Identification of Parties: This includes the names, addresses, and contact information of both the breeder and the buyer.
• Description of Dog: Detailed description of the dog including breed, color, sex, date of birth, and any other relevant information.
• Purchase Price: The agreed-upon price for the dog, including any deposits made, and the schedule for any remaining payments.
