STUD OWNERS AND BITCH OWNER mutually agree:
1) The Stud Fee is payable by Bitch Owner to "Legends" at the time the Bitch arrives to be bred to the Stud or prior to the shipping of any fresh chilled sperm. The Fee is $1,000.00 for a natural breeding and $1,500.00 for chilled semen. A 20% discount on the natural breeding is given to the owner of any bitch that has earned any of these: champion in conformation (CH), agility (ATCH or MACH title), obedience (UD title), tracking (TDX), rally (championship), search & rescue (SAR certified), or working/herding (advanced title in sheep or cattle in either ASCA, AHBA or AKC). Any expenses for estrus testing or artificial insemination of the Bitch will be borne by the Bitch Owner.
2). Any pup produced with a color disqualification according to the ASCA breed standard must be placed on a spay/neuter contract. Pups from this litter placed intact must be sold, gifted, or placed with the written understanding they are not to be bred to anything other than an Australian Shepherd meeting the same requirements set forth in this Contract for the Bitch.
3) Upon arrival to be bred to the Stud, the Bitch Owner will furnish proof of the Bitch being brucellosis cleared.
4) If Bitch is to be boarded at the Stud owners' facility, there is no boarding fee for the first ten days. After ten days, the Boarding fee for the Bitch is $10 per day. Bitches being flown to the Stud Owners should fly them into the Albuquerque International Airport, which is approximately one hour and ten minutes from the Stud Owners' facility. Those driving to the facility may stay in the Stud Owner's guesthouse for $45 per night - this includes all meals.
5) Stud Owners guarantee three live and healthy pups to any Bitch two to seven years of age. Stud Owners guarantee one live and healthy pup to any Bitch eight years or older. No Bitch under two will be approved for breeding. The Bitch may be rebred to the Stud within a one-year period of time if the quantity guaranteed is not produced. If using fresh sperm, all vet expenses for the recollection and shipping are at the Bitch Owner's expense. If the Stud is no longer available, Bitch Owner may select a different Stud from Stud Owner's kennel. The Stud Fee is forfeited if Bitch Owner fails to rebreed the Bitch within a one year period of time or fails to select a substitute stud. There are no guarantees for producing any quantity of pups on a rebreeding or recollection.
6) The Bitch owners will notify the Stud Owner when pups are born (colors and sexes) and when and where pups are placed.
7) The Stud Owner and the Bitch Owner both concur to timely notify each other of any genetic issues that arise in either the stud, the bitch or in the puppies produced from this breeding.
