FAQ
Co-ownership is when two or more people have their names as owners on a dog's AKC registration papers.
The co-owner keeps the puppy and is responsible for day-to-day food and vet bills, and entry fees for any sports they want to do, but the breeder covers any breeding related expenses, health testing, and costs of showing if they choose to show in conformation but the co owner isn't interested.

It may well depend upon what country you're in. In the US the short answer is no, they can't take the pup back or force you to alter the pup. Under US law, dogs are property, so if you bought it outright (no co-ownership arrangement) it's yours to do with as you see fit.
