Ethically and Responsibly Bred, Health Tested Golden Retrievers for ALL
Est 2019 - Treasure Valley, Idaho
Co-owning your dog with us- is it right for you and your family?
We have chosen to hold on to a few of the pups we've produced and have placed them in homes with a co-owners, other families or breeders who share the same interests as we do: bettering the breed one dog at a time!
The dogs we place in c-own homes are dogs we would one day like to consider breeding in the future.
Co-own Perks:
These co-own families are given an initial price reduction of $500 off the total purchase price
Co-own families are offered pick of the litter pups OR monetary compensation from the litters their dogs are associated with
Co-own dogs are always welcome to board with us while their families are away FREE of charge!
And finally, co-own dogs are spayed/neutered at our own expense if they are associated with litters.
What it is and why we do it:
NO STRINGS ATTACHED!
Future breeding is never a requirement or necessary for the families or dogs.
CO-OWN FAMILIES CAN BE LOCATED ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES
Each Co-own contract is drafted upon an individual case basis in order to compensate for individual families needs and circumstances and can be edited and revised by both the breeder (us) and the co-owner. Both the breeder ( us) and the co-owner are listed on the dog's AKC registration.
Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible and we wish to work with families closely in order to make breeding and co-owning simple and as stress-free as possible for both parties
The puppies we deem as “potential breeding quality” are just that, potential breeding quality dogs. It is very hard to determine the potential and quality of a puppy at 8-10 weeks old, and it is for this reason that we created our co-own program. So we can retain access to and follow the progress of puppies that showed potential at a young age.
With our co-own program, nothing is set in stone. We understand that life can be hectic and things can change at any moment, this is why our co-own homes are not held to any breeding obligation, contracts are drafted very loosely and families will not be held accountable if they are suddenly unable or do not wish to breed their dogs. Co-own homes can decide to end their co-own contract at any time without fear of penalization, fees, or guilt! Breeding dogs takes time, effort, and group collaboration, it must be agreed upon by all parties involved and in the best interest of the dog itself.
The requirements in order for a co-own dog to be bred:
1. Be two years of age
2. Be fully health tested (cost covered by us) with satisfactory results.
3. Earn titles that prove the co-own dog's abilities and prove it's contribution to the betterment of the breed!
The Specifics:
-
The co-own family owns/trains/and lives with their puppy and is only asked to pay an initial discounted price in the case of the puppy being purchased from Mountain Reign, the cost is significantly less if the puppy is produced by another program.
-
Co-owners must pay for puppies' vet expenses, food, and any other needs not related to breeding.
-
The Co-owner must be committed to working with their puppy and earning at least a couple titles before the dog is two years of age. Titles can be in any sport or area of discipline: hunting, agility, lure coursing, dock diving, canine good citizen, trick title, etc..
-
At two years of age the female or male will be health tested and certified at the expense of the breeder, not the co-own family!
-
If the male or female is not found to be of breeding quality by Mountain Reign, co-ownership on behalf of Mountain Reign will be terminated, making the guardian family the sole owner, AKC registration will be kept limited and the family will be asked to sign a contract agreeing not to breed their dog (we will not ask you to alter your dog), IF the co-own dog is bred, we will pay for them to be altered once they are retired.
For Co-owners of Male dogs:
-
If the dog is a male, the breeder retains individual breeding rights and the dog must be available on scheduled breeding dates to be bred to females of the breeders choice at the discretion and availability of the co-own family.
-
Mountain Reign will cover the cost of any and all breeding expenses, not the co-own family.
-
The co-own family will have the option for pick of the litter (following breeders pick) for 1 puppy per litter produced by Mountain Reign and sired by their male for no extra cost OR the option of monetary compensation ( price of one puppy) per each litter produced by Mountain Reign and sired by their male.
-
The profits from the breeding(s) will go to the breeder if the litter is produced by Mountain Reign and kept by the litter owner if not produced by Mountain Reign.
-
If at any point the co-own family decides not to continue to use the male for stud services and would like to cease breeding activities, the breeder will terminate co-ownership and sign over AKC rights to the co-own family with a non-breeding contract.
-
If for any reasons the male is deemed unfit to breed in the middle of the contract either by a licensed veterinarian or the breeder, the breeder’s ownership will be terminated and all paperwork will be transferred back to the co-own family with AKC limited paperwork and a no-breeding contract.
For Co-owners of Female dogs:
-
If the dog is a female, she will only be bred at the discretion and agreement of both the co-own family and the breeder!
-
All profits from breedings will be kept by the breeder.
-
The co-own family will be given priority to have a pick of the litter ( following the breeder’s pick) of one puppy per litter produced by their female OR the option of monetary compensation (price of one puppy) per litter their female produces.
-
The co-own family must return the female to the breeder before X-rays are taken to confirm puppy count, somewhere around 50-55 days of pregnancy.
-
The female must remain with the breeder until her puppies are weaned and are sent off to the new homes.
-
The female will be professionally bathed at the breeders expense before returning to the co-own families home post puppy pick up.
-
-
Visitations by the co-own family, although must be scheduled at least one day in advance, will always be allowed. The family may even choose to be present at the birth of the puppies and can be as involved or as un-involved in puppy whelping and raising as they wish.
-
Once the co-own home and the breeder agree to terminate the female’s breeding career, co-ownership on the breeders part will be terminated and the family will become the sole owner of the female, and Mountain Reign will pay for the female to be spayed if the Co-owner wishes.
-
If for any reasons the female is deemed unfit to breed in the middle of the contract either by a licensed veterinarian or the breeder, the breeder’s ownership will be terminated and all paperwork will be transferred back to the co-own family with a non-breeding contract.
