I'm sorry Julie but what's wrong with selling a show potential puppy with strings attached? Like you said further in your post, the average litter is only 4 and with everything that can go wrong I would never let a puppy of that caliber go without strings attached. If it isn't to my advantage why would I let it go? What's wrong with a co-ownership until the puppy has finished its CH and health clearances? What's wrong with the breeder wanting to have a say in who she gets bred to for her first litter and taking a puppy back? I sell show potential puppies at pet prices because I know what all can go wrong but if everything works out then I want final payment at that time and I will sign off when those conditions have been fulfilled.
