Co-ownership |
Many people new to Malinois often are confused with why I (and other breeders) require co-own on so many puppies. First let me say, I am a breeder that loves this breed and respects it's diversity and exceptional intelligence as well as it's downfalls. This breed is not the dog for everyone and requires a lot of time and attention to maximize their potential. I have found my puppies are better suited to live in active families that have time to socialize and raise them to be a part of the family. Because I love this breed and choose to take an active part in breeding I can not keep all show and breeding quality puppies. I can however offer them a loving caring family of their own to grow and flourish in, and get individual attention that they would not get if I were to keep a kennel of dogs. I do not run a "kennel" and keep no more than 1-4 dogs in my household at a time. They live in my home and are a part of my family. For this reason and the fact that I breed so rarely I offer a reduced price to co-own puppies I would like to maintain in my breeding program for the future as well as those I feel are pet quality so they are not bred without my knowledge or assistance (pets are sold on limited registration). I am always here to answer any and all questions or problems a puppy owner may have day or night. While I attempt to stay in touch with my puppies I rely mostly on the new owner to send me updates and concerns regarding their puppy. |
