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.  |
Re read the the thread- I said that my dogs were not worth $1,200.00 for a stud fee. If I was trying yo make you feel inferior I would have stated that my dogs were better then yours and I did not do that.
Many folks on here give newbies a lot of crap and cause a lot of confusion. Stating that you are breeding Champion puppies because a judge bought one of your puppies does not mean you are breeding Champion puppies. I had a international judge look at two of my guys- was told that I should show them at international shows and that they should finish- does that mean I should advertise them as I am breeding international Champs- No way.
A lot of valuable information was gave to you- look at the archives this subject has been digested and spit up on many a occasion. The end result is that the newbie gets hurt feelings. Which would you rather have the person who pats you on the head and leads you down the wrong road with wrong and incorrect information or the person who cares enough about you to give you the information in clear simple black and white. Why waste words be direct and to the point.
We never discussed if you should breed the male or female - did they have something to add to the gene pool. What kind of faults do they have? Over the past thirty years I can not count the number of times I have heard- We just want puppies for family or friends and the puppies will be spayed or neutered. 60% of the time those puppies are bred when they become adults. They are never spayed or neutered. The stud is often sold because that wonderful mild mannered male is no longer housebroke and lifts his leg on anything that does not run away from him. If there is a female in heat for a week he is a walking penisaurs with naught for a brain.
