Read MoreIn the unfortunate event of a miscarriage, the contract ensures that both parties are protected and provided with clear guidelines for moving forward. If the dam does not become pregnant despite the breeding efforts, the dam owner retains the right to request a repeat breeding with the stud dog, as outlined in the agreement. This repeat breeding would be conducted on the dam's subsequent heat cycle, without incurring an additional stud fee. However, it's essential to note that the dam owner remains responsible for covering any associated expenses, such as veterinary charges and shipping costs, as outlined in the contract.
To initiate the process for a repeat breeding, the dam owner must provide evidence of the non-pregnancy, certified by a licensed veterinarian within a specified timeframe from the initial breeding date. This documentation ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of the situation and can proceed accordingly.
While a miscarriage can be a disappointing outcome, the contract aims to mitigate any potential disputes or misunderstandings by providing a structured approach to handling such situations. By adhering to the terms outlined in the agreement and maintaining open communication, both the dam owner and stud dog owner can navigate this challenging circumstance with clarity and professionalism.
