Because a $400/hour lawyer shouldn’t be the only way to stay protected.
Contracts written by attorneys are expensive, and most women-of-color founders can’t afford that level of access. The result? Too many breeders enter agreements based on trust alone, only to face disputes over stud fees, litter rights, health responsibilities, or registration paperwork. This Stud Dog Breeding Agreement Template was created to close that gap. It’s written in plain language, fully editable in Word, and shaped by real disputes I’ve personally experienced—so you can avoid those same issues.
People don’t always respect minority-owned and women-owned breeding programs the way they respect large kennels. This agreement helps shift that dynamic by clearly outlining expectations, responsibilities, and rights before breeding takes place.
