 stud
I wish someone had told me many years ago what to expect from my dog breeding ideas..LOL seriously, information gives you the insight to make wise choices. I learned everything first hand.
Aside from the fact it is almost impossible to have a stud and a pet...another huge problem can be actually dealing with other non-professionals..and that person happens to own the female...a professional will not be interested.
You need a contract whether it is a fee or puppy...and realize not everyone honors contracts..just read the archives to see hwo many get ripped off.
Your male is not proven..he may breed fine, he may not...he may have genetic problems he can pass on, he may not..so you need to have a vet, well informed into breeding test him...the cost of testing will prolong his stud career so you can recoup the money. Unless, he is a well known stud, how many requests do you feel you will get in a year?
If you decide on a fee and it does not result in puppies..the reputable breeder gives another free stud service..in the mean time, you will not be able to neuter him until you fulfill the contract.
I wasn't fond of stud service for the reason some people are not careful where they place puppies...they are too trusting...nothing sadder then finding out one of your boys puppies is in a puppymill etc..so have some agreement about how and where to place puppies...spay/neuter pet homes etc..best wishes |
