I co-own my 2 dogs with their breeders.
I pay for the entry fees to show them (and expenses for me and my dogs at the shows) and they show my dogs for me. I also don't pay the full price for my dogs. Co-owning with my breeders also gives us the Bred-by-Exhibitor class option at the shows.
I bought both dogs as show prospects, so obviously I am obligated to show them. If they don't do well though, then I don't have to keep pursuing it. I can spay them, and they are mine.
I've known my breeders for a really long time, and this works for both of us. I get to have some lovely dogs, and they get 2 more dogs to show without having to live with them and take care of them.
