#FIRST HARMONY FARMS FULL#

FHF gets a set number of breedings back.This varies depending on the dog, how important the dog is to our breeding program, who is doing all the showing, who is paying entry fees, who is paying for health testing, and how well I know the Buyer.įHF will cover any health testing for breeding if done at the Animal Care Clinic in Princeton, IL. We love helping new breeders get started but cannot guarantee that we will use the co-owns in our program. We are also willing to help train and compete the dog to help title it and get Personal Best scores. This is rarely decided before 7 weeks old. Co-owns do have some say on pick of the litter, but we will always pick one of our favorite puppies. The benefits to the Buyer are that they get a chance at the first pick puppy from a cross and we will do all the paperwork for getting the dog registered and health tested. Most co-owns show themselves, but some have us do the competing and they just help with the training. With some dogs and if the co-own is interested, the dog/bitch may come back to FHF to board, breed, or show.

Other than the occasional breeding, the dog lives with the co-own. We are open to a variety of co-own contracts, but all are for people interested in breeding their dogs/bitches. This grew to us having co-owns with a variety of people over the years, some old friends and some became friends over time. Eventually, we also had some friends interested in co-owns as well. Not every dog/bitch has turned into a breeder, but many of our breeders have lived in other homes. We eventually gave some favorite puppies to family members with the agreement that we get to possibly compete and breed with them. As much as we love breeding, we were not willing to live with more dogs than we already owned, which only allowed for an occasional litter. First Harmony Farms started Co-owning some dogs with friends and family so that we could try to have a litter of puppies every year without having to own too many dogs personally.
