Well I know breeders in my area ask for pick of the litter or the amount of one pup. they do pay half up front but if their stud does not get the female pregnant they get that money back, and some will wait and see before getting their money. But all breeders are different and have their own way of doing it. a contract is always best. and always make sure the stud has been tested for STD and have had all the normal test ran on their dog before breeding it with your female, if they havent I wouldnt use them. |
