CO-OWNERSHIP

We have two co-owning opportunities coming up.

1) A female puppy of our current litter, she will be 8 weeks old when you get her and you will raise her. Please read the conditions and what it means to be a co-owner below.

2) Our beloved young male dog Wolf, who will be a stud dog for Pandora Shepherds once all his health testing is complete. Wolf is already well socialised, knows all basic commands and is a fun, active, friendly and very loving dog. He will be suitable for someone who wants a young adult rather than a pup, has an active lifestyle and is able to handle and take the responsibility of an entire(not-neutered) male dog.

By becoming a co-owner, you become part of the Pandora Shepherds clan and help to establish this wonderful breed in New Zealand.

Through our years of experience, we have found co-ownership the most ethical way of breeding as it gives the dogs the best life possible. Rather than us having all the dogs, co-ownership means they live with families where they get one-on-one attention and the time he/she needs and deserves.

Responsible breeding is built on the foundation ethical animal welfare, so having happy and healthy breeding dogs is one of our main priorities.

Most co-owner homes have become great friends and we stay in close contact, establishing a good relationship to make everyone involved happy (people and dogs).

Being a co-owner means:

The dog is living at your place full time and you are the primary owner
The dog is our pick of the litter (the puppy we believe meets the breed standard best)
The cost of the dog is only $1000
We will pay for the health testing required for breeding and organize a vet visit (1 day, around 15 months of age)
We will pay for any costs related to breeding
We choose the gender, as per what sex we need for our breeding program.
The mating, whelping and puppies will be at our place (roughly 8 weeks in a year, perfect to plan your holidays without worrying about your dog)
There will be a reimbursement given to the foster homes after a litter, enough to feed the dog and pay normal vet costs for a year

The requirements are:

You are located in Auckland or Waikato area and don't plan to move.

You will commit to training your dog, so it will become a well behaved, well socialised dog that is a role model of our desired breed standard.
