You owe the owner of the bich a second breeding if no live puppies are the result of the breeding. No ifs and or buts. That is just common courtesy- I am sure that you would want one if you were in the other persons place.
Once again we are back on the same old train that is going to derail- hope that I am not on the tracks this time. You will be laughed out of town if you think that your stud fee is worth what you paid for your puppy unless you paid $400.00 or less for your puppy. I can get my females bred to top winning Champions whose show records are in the top 20 of this breed for $1,200.00. My one male who is finished as a UKC Champion and needs a major is not worth $1,200.00 I am charging $400.00 for him- have a son of a Best In show Winner ( who was in the top 20 for show record placements) he is priced at $400.00.
You had better have a outstanding dog with outstanding bloodlines- and a outstanding show record to think that you can step up to the big league.
If you have a average pet that you are wanting to use at stud - I advice clients that I would not pay over $250.00 to $300.00 to use that caliber of male. Hate to bust your bubble. |
Bust my bubble? Firstly there's no real need to be so blantantly rude to me. I have never bred before. And never charged a stud fee and never bred a female. This site was created to help people. People like me. So I posted my thread and asked my question and I've got A LOT of
different questions from a lot of different people. Your response made me feel like I was some sort of inferior child. Everyone was a newbie once and I feel quite offended. I never said that I thought that charging the price of my puppy was the correct way of charging a stud fee. That's just the first thing that I was told by a local breeder. I wasn't sure so I asked. Like a good and intelligent person I wanted to know the truth so I went to the one place where I believed I could ask any question and get back answers w/o feeling like an idiot. (this was an English Bulldog breeder btw not a yorkie one- so maybe it's different in that breeding circle- those puppies
start at 1,200 and that's the lowest price around here.. w/ no red in the petigree too) And another thing is I did say that if puppies weren't produced I
would do another freebie breeding. I'm impressed that you have such stupendous dogs but mine is average but that doesn't make him nonexistent. And I had no intentions of "stepping up to the big league" w/ him. A couple wants to breed for a puppies for their grandchildren. That's it. I don't know what your intentions were in your response Wnalegria but whatever they were they hurt. You could have just told me the facts like everyone else instead of making me look and feel like a loser.
