One of the questions which arises, is why would someone want to purchase a dog under breeder's terms......

This way there is constant guidance for the newcomer into the real breeding world... such as the correct lines to combine and what pitfalls to look out for besides assistance with the raising of the pups to cultivate them into outgoing courageous adults. There are years and years of advice from medical to training problems can be tapped by this joint venture. One of the main reasons for most parties who purchase under breeder's terms is that they do not have to come up with the total purchase price in cash PLUS they are getting an adult dog which can be bred sooner than starting with a puppy because usually the cash required for an adult is equal to or less than that of a puppy. This way you can earn your down payment monies back quicker.

How much cash is comfortable for you to put down as the initial deposit?
Understand that it depends on how large the down payment is plus the other responsibilities you undertake will determine how the puppies are divided. Acquiring a female on breeder's terms does NOT mean that you just take a dog for free and maybe sometime down the road you will think about having a litter. Instead it is a commitment to perform certain tasks within your abilities within a certain period of time.
