de MediciPoodles Foster/Guardian Contract Our Promise to You: Though we do our best to only
purchase and breed healthy dogs that have tested clear of genetic problems,
occasionally genetic problems can randomly occur, much in the way that downs
syndrome in people can randomly occur. Also, there are some genetic
problems that cannot yet be screened for.
If such a thing happens, we will not use the dog in our breeding
program and the dog will be spayed/neutered and will remain with you as a
family pet. And as the dog is yours for
a very nominal cost, de Medici Poodles will not pay towards treatments
resulting from genetic problems or health issues that arise. We do charge a $600 dollar
homing fee for our guardian dogs, and $400 is returned when the contract is
finished. We feel that people often do not value what comes without cost
and a nominal fee encourages foster families to think seriously before bringing
a dog into the home. Please understand that a foster or guardian arrangement is
meant to be a PERMANENT home for the dog; it becomes YOUR dog and it is very
hard on a dog to be rehomed after it is used to you and has grown to love your
family! Your Promise to Us: You
agree that Linda has full breeding rights to the fostered dog until
________________ (date). After this
date, the fostered dog is free in full to the foster home after we have spayed or neutered the dog for you. You may
not spay/neuter the dog and agree to pay damages up to $10 000.00 if you
sexually alter one of our breeding dogs. You agree not to allow the dog to unduly
stress the puppy's developing body with excessive strenuous exercise in the
first year of its' life or get overweight during its’ lifespan. We require that you take your
puppy to puppy obedience classes within six months of possession of the puppy/dog. We require that you discuss and
follow an appropriate vaccination schedule with your veterinarian. You agree to feed your foster dog a diet that is discussed with and approved by de Medici Poodles. You
will inform us at the beginning of each heat (for females) and will let us
house the dog for breeding and whelping, when required. You
will keep any other (unscheduled) breeding dogs away from the fostered
dog. If the dog is bred without Linda's permission, you agree to
pay damages of up to $10 000.00. You
agree to take the fostered dog to the vet if it has been injured or has any
signs of illness and agree to cover these vet expenses and to let Linda know if
the fostered dog gets sick or injured. You
agree that if the fostered dog is killed or injured to the extent
that
it isn't able to breed, that you will pay the replacement fee of up to
$2000.00. If the dog is stolen, you agree to pay damages up to $5
000.00. You
agree that the fostered dog is to be housed on Vancouver Island or the greater Vancouver area and will notify
Linda when you are going to be traveling or have the dog out of the area. You
agree that the fostered dog is to be available for inspection and for breeding
at all times (notice will be provided!). You
agree to keep contact with Linda and return e-mails and phone calls. You agree to contact us
immediately if you can no longer look after the dog at ANY point during the
dog's life. We retain the right to cancel
this guarantee and repossess the dog at our sole discretion at any time before the term of the contract is completed. Signing indicates understanding
of and agreement with the terms of this contract. Date
