Julie said it so well. I have rarely in 40+ years of breeding and showing, co owned. If I do not trust the people enough to believe they are going to ask for my help and that they will do the right thing for the puppy they get from me, then I don't let them have one of my babies. Having said that, I do not condem people who do co own if that is what they and their purchasers are comfortable with. I do however, condem the pyramid scheme that some breeders have of getting a puppy or puppies back from every bitch they sell. This goes on quite a bit in some breeds and I have heard of it happening with Cavaliers as well.
Further, on co owning AKC registered dogs, many people are not aware that even if the dog does not reside with you any more that, as co owner, you MUST keep the very same breeding, litter, etc. records that the owner does. If you do not and AKC comes knocking at your door, you will not be in compliance.
