Further, this Labrador Retriever shall not be trained as a guard or attack dog.

I/We, by the signing of this contract, do hereby make absolute promise that this Labrador Retriever puppy shall receive socialization with people and other dogs on a regular basis.
e) Buyer agrees not to start strenuous physical exercise or training (roadwork/jumping etc) of puppy until it has reached a minimum or 12 months of age.

4) Should, at any time, this Labrador Retriever be mistreated by reason of abuse or neglect the breeder reserves the right to take back immediate possession of the dog without reimbursement to the owner. Should this clause need to be enforced, the owner shall forfeit the dog's AKC registration papers to the breeder within 2 days of the breeder taking possession of the dog.
5) Breeder retains the right to visit, or have someone visit, the dog periodically for the purpose of determining what the litter produced or to just check on the dog's welfare.

The owner understands that the breeder will take into consideration the dog's age, health, and temperament conditions in the reimbursement price of the dog, and that the refund price shall be minus the breeder's expenses incurred on the dog. Buyer understands that an older dog can not be reimbursed for the same price as a puppy and many times older dogs are "placed" and not resold.
