Co-Own Program Option
We want to work together with local families!
We are very passionate about our dogs being valued family members and not living life as kennel dogs. Our dogs live in our house and sleep in our beds. Working together with some local families will allow some of our dogs the chance to bless other homes but have the benefit of remaining in our program while also not having to have too many dogs under one roof.
Our co-own families own all pet rights (they will live with you for a majority of the time as a valued pet) and we own breeding rights (they come back to us for titling, health testing, and breeding -only if they meet the requirements and these services will be paid by us).
We are only interested in individuals or families that are passionate about our breed and dogs having an active fulfilled life.
We would consider for a male or female puppy from one of our future litters for co-owning!
Benefits and Requirements

Why this program?
This program allows families a well bred, trained, and health tested dog or puppy at less than our normal cost.
We help pay and assist with training which can be ideal for families that cannot dedicate the time to properly train a puppy.
It allows us to work closely with a family for the dog, so they are already in their forever family from the start.
We can continue to grow our program while keeping all of our dogs in family homes.
We can work together with families to make sure our dogs integrate into the perfect family to retire with while we are still working with them.

You can be a part of working with our breed!
All litter raising and puppy placement is done in our home, co-owning families may visit the mom/puppies at any time.
Once the dog retires from our program, they will be fixed and retired to the co-owner home (before the age of 6 years old and after a maximum of 3 litters if the dog is a female).
Our goal for this program is to meet the high standards we are requiring for our breeding dogs with not only health, but also training and respecting our dogs as a part of our family. We can integrate our dogs into families where they will be spoiled family members and still remain part of our program. This means that they can be a part of their forever home from the start. We get attached to these dogs, so we will be picky with who we choose to work with.
