I was asked this but never heard of it so thought I would ask. JP Sure; campaigning a dog will most likely cost more than the purchase price of a show "puppy" anyway. I would think the person doing the "giving" would have to feel pretty certain the person getting the dog was capable of doing right by the dog AND had a track record of success IF the dog was a good one. A co-ownership can be structured to be whatever the parties agree to, although I'm a big believer of putting it all in writing, because if you expect me to remember what the deal was a few years from now, you'd be disappointed:) Kathy member GSDCA, DVGSDC three generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions live here! visit _Pine Hill German Shepherd Dogs_ (http://www.geocities.com/pinehillgsds/) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
