? about breedable puppy

You are correct, the usual is to co-own until the dog is finished at least. This is even done between show people, not only new people trying to get into showing. When you have a good line, you want to ensure it, and by co owning, you have a say in the breeding of the bitches/dogs so you will have an idea of what pups might look like. With a new person, you want to make sure that they are really interested in showing the dogs, and not merely looking for a good line to breed to make money on the puppies.

i think anyone who purchases under show pot. or not, didn't look into it very well.

it looks like to me to be a money making scheme

Good discussion.

I don't know what the end result will be but eventually I might be able to tell you if anything happened one way or another.

Yes I would refund the difference between the breeding rights. As far as the spay of the female. that is the choice of the new owner. I dont think that it is the responsibility of the breeder if they decide to spay the female to pay for it. Remember even if they didnt ask, Word of mouth travels fast and if the breeder wants people to look at them as a good breeder maybe by offering would be something that this person will remember and if they have friends wanting a yorkie I'm sure they will mention the breeder without hesitation, besides if they didnt ask maybe they will turn down the offer, but at least the offer was there. (just my opinion ) I am a breeder and i would do it.

I can't say there was any resolution for the buyer in the sense the breeder paid for spaying the girl. Or refunded any money.

I hope if I am ever faced with this type of scenario, I will be able to do what will be in the best interests of the puppy and the buyer.
