hi all, i think alot of people are missing something here. i see nothing wrong with co-owning as long as both parties are in agreement. granted, there are those breeders who put so many strings on bitches that it is not only unfair, but it is also rape. co-owning with a puppy or two back IMO is not neccesarily a bad thing. there are some people who simply cannot keep that many dogs. getting a puppy back down the road enables the breeder to keep a line going or just continuing with a certain pedigree while allowing the other party a chance to also have a good bitch to start or continue with. and what about the show prospects that are sold at a pet price? dont you think that giving a puppy back would be one way of paying the difference between a pet and a show bitch? and speaking of the difference in prices, what about paying X amount of dollars for each major the dog gets? its done in many breeds that way. pay a pet price and the difference between pet vs. show is divided into two equal payments. if both parties are reasonable, there are ways to work everything out. seems to me that too many people want something for nothing and are not taking into consideration all the time and effort it takes to raise a litter, not to mention the cost. and donning my flame suite, i will also say that there is nothing wrong with wanting to be compensated for all that. claudia
