What is Breed Back?

A breed back contract establishes a co-ownership relationship between the new owner of the dog (Owner) and Doug Plemel of Desert Winds Kennel (Co-owner). Under terms of this co-ownership arrangement, the female dog will be breed once to a male selected by Doug Plemel of Desert Winds Kennel. Desert Winds Kennel is also assured the right to keep at no cost the "pick of the litter" as identified by Doug Plemel.
