I am also surprised that the owner of the stud didnt give you a written stud contract to sign. That being said, one breeding constitutes a breeding. Therefore, the complete stud fee should be due at the time of breeding. It is not the fault of the stud owner that your bitch came into standing heat during a holiday. Stud owners may have had plans too.They do have a life outside of breeding dogs. I do agree that they should have made it clear that an AI would probably have to be done. I would probably not have used that stud if that information was made available to me. I also would have , well in advance, looked at many studs before choosing just one, for the exact reasons that you have run into(non availability, breeding another bitch at the same time, etc) Also, it is not the stud dog owners fault that you had to drive over a gravel road and it broke your windshield. It was you that wanted the stud service. |
