As a former breeder & exhibitor, I have to say that on the surface this is reasonable. Yes, most of the dogs we sold had enforcible neuter agreements written into the contracts, the exceptions being to other known breeders and involving show/breeding quality animals. That said, I have known, and known of other, breeders who had valuable animals stolen and then later ended up in shelters. Pre-chipping, it was devasting to some breeding programs.

Then be more careful about the people you let adopt puppies. The dogs aren't commodities--"valuable animals"-- they are family.

We were; OTHERS weren't. And it wasn't the adoptors that were the problem, it was third party "activists" that caused others some trouble.

We never had a problem.
