Karen, there are other considerations than "trust" for requiring a 
spay-neuter or other terms in the written contract.
I know people who have sold dogs to homes that had no plans
for breeding, only to find out years later that the dog was then
resold or given to someone out of town who took full advantage of
an intact, well bred animal to produce puppies from a neighbors
dog for extra income.  Even if you are known for  your honesty,
what happens if you are sick or seriously injured (or worse)  and
whoever obtains legal rights to your animals has other ideas?
 
 In the local newspapers right now, there are numerous  classified
ads for 'purebred' dogs for $200 - $400.  Possibly parents with
limited registrations or withheld papers?  People will often  insist
they don't want to breed the dog so they can get a reduced price.
They don't care if they have the least quality animal in the litter,
after all, they all have an equally good pedigree.  A good  written 
contract protects both sides   I no longer buy or sell any animal 
without all agreements spelled out in writing!  A verbal promise  is 
only "worth the paper it's written on!"
 
If your plan is to spay or neuter after puberty, have that specified
in the contract.  If you expect someone to trust your word,  why
wouldn't you be willing to put your promise in writing?
