Giving puppies for the stud fee gets complicated. Who gets to pick? What if stud dog owner wants a female and there are only males whelped. What if the stud dog owner can't make up his/her mind until the puppies are 12 weeks old. They will almost always want the same puppy you do.
Cash makes everything much simpler.
That's one way to go. Whatever you decide, you need to put down the terms and conditions in writing. I just recently researched this topic and there are all kinds of stud service contracts on the web with all different kinds of conditions.
Traditionally stud fee equals the price of a puppy, so I don't think it would be wrong! Depends on what you want from the breeding.

I totally agree 100%. I couldn't put all of it in my post...because I was at work and have to be sneaky! If the stud is yours then you state the price. They are buying a service from you.
