Co-ownership is when two or more people have their names as owners on a dog's AKC registration papers.
While AKC registration application forms provide for more than one owner, we recommend that co-ownerships be avoided. It has been our experience that purchasing a dog “outright” is preferable.
Key Elements of Dog Co-ownership Agreements Within the agreement, detailed financial arrangements ensure transparency and equity. Co-owners decide on the financial contributions required for the dog's care, including expenses related to food, veterinary care, grooming, and any unforeseen circumstances.
Write the contract in six steps Start with a contract template. Open with the basic information. Describe in detail what you have agreed to. Include a description of how the contract will be ended. Write into the contract which laws apply and how disputes will be resolved. Include space for signatures.
The contract should include information on the dog's health, vaccination history, and any microchip information. It should also specify what is included in the sale (such as food, toys, and veterinary care). Most importantly, it should state what will happen if the dog is ever returned to the breeder.
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS. So, many puppy contracts, or provisions of them, are not legally enforceable if they are unreasonable or micromanage the buyer.
