You still could get puppies. It only takes once to get pups. Look at some of the posts we have read on here in the past - even having an accident breeding that only happen once and they have a whole litter of pups. So I would have paid the whole fee. When you breed to any stud, you never know how either of the dogs will act. Also it is normal for you to leave the female at the stud's home for about a week. This way she knows you are not around and will perform better to the matting, this also goes for the male as well - performance. If it does not work - you get a repeat breeding. I would have been afended if one had used my stud and then tried to offer me only half.
I had a friend of mine go to her OBGYN doctor to perform artifical insemantation on her to try to get pregnant (after years of not getting pregant) It took her 4 times for her finally to conceive. Do you think she should have only paid him half? No! |
