I know this topic has been brought up before, but for some reason lately I've had several people ask me about using one of my boys as a stud. I don't know how I feel about that...

I don't really like the idea of their offspring being somewhere that I don't know about...so it would take a lot to convince me in the first place. However, that being said, if I DO decide to do it...the female will have to have documentation of testing, obviously.

My question is...how much should I charge? I'm sure it makes a difference what pedigree the sire has, and another thing I would want to consider is having pick of the litter, if I like the females features. Do I allow THEM to choose whether I get a stud fee or pick of the litter, or should I just simply say what I want?

I'm 100% undecided on this subject now, so...What are your thoughts on this?
