Owning your own stud dog is very expensive in upkeep and care. You should always have your female and the stud tested for brucellosis prior to breeding. I would not stud a female without a negative test from a vet. But then again I have never studded a female yet for many reasons. I have however paid for stud service and $500 is reasonable.
