How many breeders have been misled by someone who misrepresented themselves? I think this shows a concerned breeder not a greedy one. I have the same feelings about those breeders who sell with limited registration, meaning that their dogs must be neutered or spayed in order to be registered; to me, this says that they feel responsible for all the offspring that their dogs produce, however some people just think that the breeder's greedy. |
I stand corrected. I was sent and email that shows the op is Dan Ashely and should have addressed Dan not Clark. The co-owning among show dogs is quite common and I'm aware of how many breeders do this, but that is not what we are talking about.
I think it would be nice to hear Dan explain their views on co-owning and how corporate America runs business. He is the business expert and we may be able to learn something. Have you talked to them and heard their views?
