Okay I hear that a lot of people in the breeder talk section are wondering how much a stud fee is. I looked up the average cost. According to my dog book called The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Dogs by Dr. Peter Larkin and Mike Stockman, averge stud fee is half of what the dam's owners would be selling the puppies for. Average Yorkie puppies go for $800, therefore the stud fee would be $400.

Now what I do not get is why people with ACA registered dogs are wanting $1,000 for their stud fee! No way would I ever EVER pay that or even consider it! The whole pick of the litter, I prefer to use it. This time, I didn't.

So if you were one of the wondering talkers on here, you have your answer. I really recomend The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Dogs, it has a great breeding chapter and whelping section.
