Common practice is about $500. with the agreement that if a litter is not produced a return service is warranted. Then you are saying that a 90% red pedigreed Champion stud would be about $650. but you would pay more for a CH producer. Is $650. the going price for pups in your area?
Also, I am very concerned that the unproven stud inquired about was purchased for a far lesser amount than the usual high quality dog price in PA given her comment about the MASS amount of $1,000.
Unproven stud owners will generally not charge a fee for first breedings at all, unless the stud has been CH and the line/kennel well established. |
You're absolutely correct Sylvan.
I only paid 600 for my Harley and they dropped the price a couple hundred dollars apparently bc his litter wasn't even supposed to have occurred! Their male (who is too lazy to jump onto the couch!
) jumped a 5 foot gate to "flirt" w/ their female. This was their 3rd litter and they had long since decided it was for the pleasure of the breeding and the money wasn't the issue for them so they made us a deal. The couple who are interested in breeding w/ my Harley are only trying to breed this once to try and produce puppies for their grandchildren. (the puppies will all be fixed) And they plan on fixing both their females once they (hopefully) have a litter one day.
