Some breeders insist upon co-ownership of the pups they sell.
We believe that anyone who purchases a puppy or a dog outright and without other contractual obligations, should be entitled to full ownership. An ethical breeder will always welcome any questions, or concerns you may have about your puppy, now and in the future without co-ownership. The AKC recommends that co-ownership be avoided. A written agreement between buyer and seller to the effect that AKC registration papers will not be given to the buyer until the seller has been furnished with evidence that the dog has been neutered or spayed. If a dog is sold under such conditions, it is important that the agreement be signed by the buyer before the dog leaves the sellers premises.
