Would anyone be willing to share their "terms and "agreements" when co-owning a potential show male. This is not with another breeder it is with a family.
Thank you.

When I place a potential show male with a family as a pet, I retain breeding rights to my own ladies. I pay all clearance costs (if it ever even gets to that point, ie, he is nice enough). I pay for semen shipping costs is applicable. I pay for showing costs as well.
They pay pet price and must let me know should they ever decide he must be neutered so that I can decide if I'd like to freeze him or not.

If it is show home that intends to use his "services" also, same agreement however I do not pay for clearances or showing.

Here is the "Breeding" text of our co-own agreement. I am the family/buyer side of the contract. This has worked quite well for us. Dash the Corgi is now an AKC Champion as of July 8th! Our breeder has paid for the vWD test (Clear), CERF'd him yesterday (Clear!), and did the Fluff test (as we expected Dash carries the "fluffy" gene). They are trying to find an appointment time that will work for his final OFAs (he prelimed "good" at 16 months).

One clause that they put in our contract which has worked quite well for us (not so much for them) is the showing expenses clause. It is very generous from my perspective. The first entry fees I'm paying are for this weekend in Greensboro... they picked up ALL of his entry and handling fees on the road to CH.

Every co-ownership agreement is different. This one has worked quite well for us. We have been included in breeding discussions thus far (Dash has one litter on the ground), and we have a good working relationship with our breeder.

Cheers, K
