Co- Owning a bitch

To start off this I did a search on co-owning and came up with 3 older posts and only one was regarding this subject......(seem's as if alot are against co-owning??)
However, It did not answer my questions. My questions are ...

One, could some one give me some stipulations on co-owning a bitch. (a typical example of what could be stated in the contract...i.e would I have to pay a fee and what could it be and what would be some rules/regulations ect.)
Two, what are the pro's and con's? Three, When co-owning how much say does the breeder have and who has more say?

The reason I ask is because I am looking at a puppy but the owner does not want to part with it because she wants to breed her, (IF all turns out ok) but does not have the time to spend with her so she wants to co-own. I never co-owned b4 and was asking her what that would involve, she said she would want me to do OB and some protection work with her (Threw her trainer). I asked what she would do about the breeding part and she stated.....That she would supply the male and then either she or "I" could whelp the litter depending on what I wanted. YIKES! (I would want her to!) Then she went on to say that she would take 1/2 the litter and I would have half the litter....."What's up with that??" I thought that was kind of odd. But then again I am new at this co-owning stuff. Can some one help?

Sorry for being so long!
