No, it doesn't work that way. In animal breeding, the semen from champions is quite valuable. In horses and cattle, for example, it can be worth thousands of dollars for a single insemination if the stud/bull has desirable bloodlines.

It has nothing to do with which dog bears which burden but in the economics of breeding. It costs just as much to feed and vet a male Yorkie as it does to feed and vet a female. Breeding can defray the cost of owning the dog, especially for the owners of males as they don't have to bear the cost of raising a litter. But if it wasn't for the male dog, there would be no puppies, so it seems to me that the owner of the male has as much right to income from breeding her dog as the owner of the female.

It really has nothing to do with the male dog "having fun." People who do not plan to breed their dogs get them neutered for a reason: marking, aggression, dominance issues, etc. A person who keeps their male AKC registered dog intact likely does so in order to breed the dog and collect stud fees or take litter pick in order to build up their own kennel or to sell.

I've been out of dog breeding for more than 20 years so I have no idea what things cost any more, but stud fees on a male with good bloodlines was about equal to the price I would get for one of my puppies, which is why "pick of the litter" is a viable alternative.
