My beagle got an English bulldog pregnant. I would like to have one of the puppies but the owner of the bulldog said they will be selling the puppies and not giving me one. Do I have any rights to the puppies?

Full Question:
I have a pure bred beagle that got an english bulldog pregnant, which belongs to someone else. I would like to have one of the puppies since they are also my beagle's puppies. The owner of the bulldogs has told me that they are going to sell the puppies and will not be giving me one. Do I have any rights to the puppies?

Unless you had a breeding contract with the owner of the female, I don’t think you have any rights to the puppies.

If this was a planned breeding (which I hope it WAS NOT) then this should have all been figured out ahead of time. reputable breeders have breeding contracts that state what the fee will be to the stud dog owner, it’s usually an exchange of money or a puppy in return for using the male. If you don’t have a contract, then you are probably going to have to buy one of the puppies if you want one.
