A general summary of what a dog breeder contract is is a contract to enforce the proper care by new buyer. It also states the welfare gone into their breeding and treatment by the breeder. This is to ensure high standards of care from their genetics to the breeder's care of the puppy whilst in ownership.
In the United States, dog breeding is a legal activity as long as the breeder is not found guilty of animal cruelty. Some states may require some dog breeders to be sanctioned with a license if they reach specifics thresholds.
If you intend to breed dogs for sale, you need a licence regardless of the type of property you are operating from, even if it is your home. You will need a licence if you want to breed dogs and are breeding: three or more litters of puppies per year (unless you can show that none of the puppies has been sold)
