More about co-owning a puppy! What is co-owning for us ? Because often we get asked to explain coownership I thought writing an article on the subject would be helpful. * this article refers to normal Pet homes that maybe would be open to co-owning a puppy with us, not to proven Show homes or Breeders ! So, to get back to the point. Why do we need co-owners ? This is quite simple. Realistically we can not hold on to all the puppies we like and consider Show Quality puppies. We do keep some, but often we sell Show Quality puppies as Pets. If we believe in the quality of one dog, in the pedigree, the temperament and MOST IMPORTANT we feel we would have a good relationship with the future owners we ask them for cowonership. This helps us have a wider base of dogs. And helps the dogs have their own families. In our vision responsible breeding can not be done without Coowners - and so we need you in our life ! This would mean the dog is a Pet in his/hers family, and the breeding rights are owned by us. All our puppies are sold as Pet's, but there are some that we might like în co-own and we discuss this prior with the family. A Show Prospect puppy will have to be examined by us around 12 months of age ( us coming to the owners, or the owners visiting us ). If we do like how the puppy has developed, and the family is still open to co-own - then we can move forward. If we agree to this then all the expenses that have to do with a Show dog are on us/the breeder. Any shows, handler fees, photos, travels, hip/elbow examination, eye tests, genetic tests, etc are covered by us. And as said before the breeding rights to said dog belong to us. For males : - breeder can use the Stud Dog on any of the Bitches in their breeding program ( owned or co-owned ) without and stud fees. If asked for an outside female, the breeder will forward a part of the breeding fee to the owner ( this will be discussed at that time, depending on circumstances ) - owner has no obligation to do anything related to Show or Breeding, but should try to be compliant with his time For female: - females in co-own would have 2-3 litters at home with the breeder. - females can stay with us in boarding for free whenever the owners need this help - it also helps the female to get use to our house environment and be relaxed with us. - we would NEVER continue with a breeding with a female that we see is not feeling ok in our home environment - a part of the profit from the litter will be forwarded to the female owners ( to be discussed depending on circumstances ) - we only consider co-owning females that are in a town/region close to us.
