Occasionally I have a pup I wish to place for free in a co-ownership home.
If you can not afford a mastiff this may be a good way to get a mastiff with out much expense .
We only co-own mastiffs to screened and approved homes on Vancouver Island
to people who will be willing to co-operate with me in showing the dog. And bringing the dog to me for breeding
.
On a co-ownership female,
I would like one litter back from this female , and the option of a second litter might be offered
to the co-owner .But I do allow the co-owner the right to refuse the second litter as long as they spay the female after the
first litter .
Co-owning a male
Males may be place on a co-owner agreement with myself holding full breeding rights to the male. This male
CAN NOT be neutered with out my permission and only I can profit from his stud fees . This male must never be allowed
to breed any female with out my permission co-owner of males or females must be very responsible, stable, people.
Must have a fenced yard.
must be willing to take the dog to obedience and show handling classes.
We may
occasionally place a special puppy for 1/2 the sale price on a 50/50 ownership agreement. In this agreement
breeding costs and puppies, or stud fees and profits, are split between breeder and co-owner.
Below is a copy
of our co-ownership agreements for free placement of male or female.
