Hi Myra, Neither of my co-owns involved a large amount of money. The first co-owned bitch was sold to a repeat puppybuyer that I had known for more than 10 years. I sold her the puppy at a pet price and asked for the option to have the option of 2ND pick from one litter. Unfortunately, we didn't get any puppies and now the bitch is over 5 years old and will not be bred again. The second co-own was at the suggestion of the stud dog owner (again, someone I had known for 10 years) as she wanted something out of the litter (she had bred the dam as well) and this is how I paid for the stud fee - I gave her my 2nd pick bitch (now a finished champion) and I would get the option on one puppy from a future litter. This bitch had a litter of two - one bitch and one dog. The dog was placed as a pet and she has kept the bitch puppy to run on but not before asking me if I wanted her. So, I still co-own two bitches and hope that the 2nd bitch will have something for me in a future litter. Never say never - you never know you might want to do a similar co-own in the future.
