Cavalier Talk

Co-ownership of purebred dogs has been is existence for decades. When a dog is “Specialled” usually by a professional handler the dog will travel and live with its handler for extended periods of time. The costs can mount up quickly so owners will find other people involved within their breed and co-own the dog to help offset the expenses. Co-ownership is also very popular amongst breeders placing a female puppy with a family on open registration for future showing and/or breeding. Many times the breeder will place a condition into the contract like receiving a puppy from the first litter before signing full ownership over to the adoptive family. This is a very common practice so if you run across it do not be alarmed, but educate yourself before you enter into any contract because AKC does not endorse or promote co-ownerships because situations change and many times a dog’s fate can lie in limbo if the owners are not in agreement about a situation.
