First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong spot. Seemed like the most fitting place.
So in the likely distant future, I would like to breed rabbits. I want to focus on Holland lops and mini rexes because I love them. And that's the point of where I'm going with this thread - I LOVE THEM.
I wrote up a (very) rough draft of a contract.
The biggest points I make in my rough draft contract are that if I sell a rabbit as a pet, it is to be a pet. Meaning it is to be spayed/neutered by no later than 6 months and is absolutely NOT to be bred.
Second point is that a rabbit is going to its forever home. If they give it to a friend, I will not be a happy camper.
But by biggest, most clear point is that it is NOT to go to the shelter!!!
I saw someone's contract online and I saw that it shows financial liability to the buyer for breach of contract. How's that work? Because if I get into breeding, if they can't keep the rabbit, I want it to come straight back to ME.
Is it safe to microchip rabbits? I want to be a vet tech in the future, and I found that you can order boxes of 25 sterile syringes/chips with the registration cards online. I'm just wondering if chipping rabbits is safe? (Because I know my local Humane society scans every single animal that comes through the doors).
And onto my main question! How does one make a contract legal? Say I sell a rabbit to someone as a pet and they don't get it fixed and my penalty for that is $100. How would I go about reporting the breach of contract, if it's all stated on there and signed by the rabbit's owner?
Do I have to take the contract to a lawyer to have them look at it to make sure there's no loopholes, make sure it's legal.... Or if the owner signs it , is it automatically legally binding? How's that whole process work?
I want to protect my future rabbits.
Sorry for the novel, haha.
If I need to clarify, just let me know. I know it's kind of all over the place. :s
