Huhhh... great. Just perfect.

You say she's your co-dog, but did you actually sign papers, help pay for a dog, etc (things that I think a co-owner would have to do...but I really don't know about this). I also wasn't aware that minors could co-own dogs, because minors can't even legally own a dog.

I was thinking the same thing. And doesn't the co-owner usually care for the dog? It is the breeder who has the rights to take them back, breed them, show then when ever they want but the co-owned dog usually lives with the co-owner.

I also agree with some of the others. Sure she should of talked it over with you but there could of been underlaying issues that prevented her from being of decent show quality.

**sigh** You don't understand. If there was some issue she would have discussed it with me first.

Sounds completely fine to me...?

Better off for the dog's health.

Completely fine? She came from awesome parents and was meant to be shown. She was a show puppy. And I took my time and energy to train her, and now she's spayed. That sound completely fine to you?

Yes, I mean sorry, but it does. She may have came from excellent parents, but she could turn out horribly in the show ring.

You might want to check and see if they have a "household pet" category in dogs. I have 3 purebred cats that were rescues. 2 of them I showed in household pet. They did great. Wouldn't hurt to check, right?

I am sorry that you are so upset. I don't visit PT much and post even less so it is quite likely that I am missing something here.

Is Lisa an adult (over 18) and the legal owner of the dog? I mean, do you have a legal claim to CO-ownership? If not, then I must say I have to agree with the others. But I do understand your frustration and disappointment.

She should have asked, or at least told you first. JMO

At the end of the day, whether she's spayed or not, does it make her any less of a dog?

[zoomer]

I don't show in Juniors.

Thank you..

No, no, no, no.

Yep, I do believe that's what I said!
It's not like it's a necessity for a dog from "awesome parents" to be shown. Now, her risks of several cancers is reduced, awesome!


I thought you had another "show dog" anyways?
