Rebates for Titles

I think it's a great idea! I was toying with the idea of doing the same thing with my future Malinois litters. I got Kai's hips checked and plan on getting Kaedyn's done soon. I'm also training for agility and obedience so they'll have more titles soon.. but if Kai's breeder had offered a rebate/incentive, I think I may have been more driven to get it done faster.

Nicole- my breeder of my two borzois did what I did.
With my shepherds I did 1/4 purchase price back for obedience title over CDX ( easier for a shepherd to get than a borzoi... lol) and half price back on Championship.
As far as OFA, I required the dog to have their hips done. Afterall- its to not only insure the health of the dog, but also verification to you that your puppies are clear/ or good in hips. Also- I guarrenteed against hip displasia because I knew my dogs were clear, but if a dog did come up on hip problems, they didnt have to return their dog. They could keep their dog, as well as a replacement puppy.

borzoimom - There is no way I would give someone a $250 rebate for a title. I was thinking along the lines of $50 or so as rebate amounts. If I offered 1/4 of ht epurchase amount then in no time i could be paying them the cost of the puppy and not even own it. I want to give them an incentive not pay for their dog.

I was offereing an example. Any rebate is great!

I know. And I appreciate it. I just wanted to let you see the amount I could do. I must admit though if I had a dog form a breeder that offered incentives like yours I would defiantely have done them.

I don't think that I, personally, would get much incentive from a rebate for hips and such. I spent $250 getting Visa's hips and elbows checked, a $50 rebate wouldn't seem worth it to me. But that's just me lol.

I guess you could think of it as a deal because you're getting $50 off lol.

lolllllllllllllllllllllllll ohhhhhhh yea! Championship titled and obedience over CDX, you would have back 3/4... However- most of the time, people would take another pup of mine at a lower cost with this factored in as to the purchase price. I was happy because the pup was in a proven show home, and they were happy to continue.. lol. And lets face it- ribbons, crystal etc are addictive.. lol. My house is covered! lol
