The purpose of this page is page is to outline and explain the different types of contracts and agreements that our dogs are sold on. If you have any further questions about these categories, please do not hesitate to ask us.
***Unless otherwise specified, ALL of our pups are sold under pet contacts/non-breeding agreements.***
Pet Contract/Non-Breeding Agreement
A Non-Breeding Agreement (also known as a "Limited Registation") is how most of our pups will be sold. The CKC registration will show that the buyer is the full owner of the pup but that the pup will not be used for breeding. There is no demand that the owner must spay or neuter their dog but any puppies that come from this dog will not be eligible to be registered. The purpose of the Non-Breeding Agreement is to discourage irresponsible breeding and to emphasize that this pup's purpose in life is to be a companion and friend to a special family.
However, this pup may still be entered in shows and trials by the buyer at any time. A Non-Breeding agreement may be issued to a trusted buyer and may be lifted by Starstruck Labradors once the dog has reached a mature age and has passed all required health exams.
Full Ownership/Registration
The Full Ownership/Registation is given out to approved breeders and trainers only. We MUST be given the time and information to get to know and trust the buyer of a pup on a full registration.
The pups sold with this registration are more expensive, as they are likely headed for competion and breeding. We have not once sold a puppy or an adult with full registration, and are not about to begin for any amount of financial gain. We have found too many breeders who do not treat their dogs well, and we are therefore extremely cautious with full registration.
Foster-To-Own Contract
A Foster To Own Contract is made personally between us and a certain buyer. We like to use this contract because it allows us to hold the breeding rights to this pup or dog. We feel that it is beneficial to the buyer as well, since the end result is a wonderful pet - for the cost of feeding, standard vet exams, and love - lots and lots of love! We only use this contract with very special buyers who live close to us. Learn more about the Foster Program HERE.
