[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought a purebred (smooth) collie in 2015.  Think they wanted $1500, we talked them down to $1200 and MIL kicked in $200 of that, partially because she was so encouraging of us having a dog.

Interestingly, I think [b]the contract we signed with the breeder required that we wouldn't breed our dog[/b]--probably because she wanted some control of her dog's bloodline.  Whatever.  He's neutered and a good dog.

If we get another dog, it would probably be a rescue lab.  I don't believe that every rescue is as healthy and easy-going as many people lead you to believe, but would still rather go that route this time (in part because I want a more easy-going dog).[/quote]

That's standard in a breeder's contract: they actually care about their line, because they've chosen all the matings carefully, and have bred for specific things (breeding out disease, adding beauty of movement, etc). They are also responsible human beings who don't want you to produce unwanted puppies. Shocking, eh?
