Times like this make me appreciate what it must feel like to be a breeder. Good job, Asgard Kennels......and, thanks again!! I was thinking this morning, something that is always dangerous for me. I have been involved in so many fights over co-ownerships for clients, and so many of the German shepherd people contact me to sue other exhibitors or breeders. It often is on the List that there are problems with co-owners. The AKC has a department that deals with fights over co-owners. I talked to the AKC yesterday about a problem for a client. Yet, my experience has been nothing but fantastic. We have co-owned with Paula, Twyla, and even Summer's family. We have never had a problem, and now we have a dog we co-owned until he finished, Icon. Nothing could have been greater than to co-own with the Drapers who worked so hard for the championship on Icon. They have allowed us to share in that fun, and they did all the work. I wonder if we should just give more credit to the co-owner, instead of trying to find a way to claim glory for ourselves. I have never found a co-owner to be a problem, but rather they take on the burden, and do nothing but good things for us and our dogs. Perhaps I have just been lucky, but I think having a co-owner is the best way to share the good times, and make more friends. I think I would rather co-own a super-star, than to do it on my own. It just makes it more fun. Maybe that is just me, but why not enjoy with others?
