There are several reasons. Show breeders will often sell a show dog with a show contract and will remain on the papers as a co-ownership until the dog becomes a champion. It just gives added recognition and control to the breeder.

Also, on some of your very nice show dogs you will see multiply owners. Part of that is because of the high cost of showing and campaigning a dog, a owner may take on a co-owner that will help with the cost of showing and also share in the glory.

Some people least out their dogs and will remain on the papers and get puppies back in return.
