He said 5lbs. and up would be safe, and her build was very good. I'm still not sure If I will, but I have questions about stud service. What should I expect? What kind contract should be drawn up. What should be on the contract? Do you pay for a stud fee when they get together , or when she's confirmed pregnant, or if she has a litter? Does anyone have a contract like this that I could copy or read? I want to know everything I need to know before I even consider breeding. I take this seriously and want to be as informed as possible so please respond with questions and/or any information.
thanks in advance. |
Please do research before you attempt.
I as a breeder would not breed a Dam under 6lbs, 7lbs is perfect.
The mortality rate for the Dam and pups go way up when the Dam is under 6lbs.
Also for Toy dogs, vets recommend 18 - 24 months.
Consider her size she probably will have a C-Section. Always consider that, always save up the money for that. Believe me it can happen unexpectedly.
Good Luck in what you do, consider your little one.
