My friend's maltese is 8 pounds and the male she plans to breed against I think is 4 pounds. Both have been tested. The male's stud fee is $600 or pick of the litter. My friend plans to keep one puppy for her own. She wants to know if the stud fee/first pick of the litter arrangement is the norm. She would rather pay the stud fee and then sell a puppy the the male's owner at a reduce fee. Neither dog is a show dog they are primarily pets with fair pedigrees (I have been told). |
