That is important to many people to know that this is entirely out of love, respect and responsibility for the life they brought into the world - not something selfish. Sometimes if the animal is intact, there is also a serious consideration of breeding. One, to maintain the genetics if the dog was to be part of a breeding program (many breeders place high-quality dogs out expecting to maintain the genetic piece while not keeping every nice dog themselves, thus keeping numbers smaller/every dog is the pet they deserve to be as well as any breeding contribution). And two, of course, making sure someone doesn't get the dog that will then go out and indiscriminately breed him/her. Most contracts have limitations on breeding to ensure responsible breeding practices.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I will also say, as a practical matter beyond legally challenging any such clause, if the breeder is showing up to ensure the dog comes back the odds are excellent they are a good breeder - thus will do right by the dog. So unless a family member has a strong attachment (and those cases they can then typically work that out with the breeder), this is likely an excellent route for ensuring a good home/etc. which of course would fulfill what you assume the desires would be of the deceased.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">If it's not that simple of a scenario, and there are other wrinkles twists & turns you want to talk through, feel free to call me.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2">Carmen Rowe, Attorney/Owner<i><br><br></i></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B-SsegebS6iBQmkwSkhNWFdCaWM&revid=0B-SsegebS6iBSWFDWVhkc3B3MURTV3h6QUR4OXJQUnhrRVp3PQ" height="74" width="200"><br></font></div></div><div dir="ltr"><font face="Trebuchet MS" size="2"></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" face="Trebuchet MS" color="#660000" size="2"></font></div><div><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" face="Trebuchet MS" color="#660000" size="2">Phone: (360) 669-3576 (direct cell)<br></font></div><div><font face="Trebuchet MS" color="#660000" size="2">Email: Carmen@GryphonLawGroup.com<br><br></font><span><font style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)" face="Trebuchet MS" color="#660000" size="2"><b>Mailing address: </b>1673 S.
