I watched 100 videos, talked to breeders and vets. Thank God I was prepared but nothing is like whelping your first. We are keeping the three in the family. I will not offer any puppies until I decide Ive made a lifelong commitment to be a real breeder. Here is my question: What is a typical contract for stud for akc and non? Is there somewhere I can go to learn? I have had a personal experience here in San Diego which feels like a scam or con. If my mom were to only have one puppy does that go to the stud owner or payment of 2500 if it is a female? Smells funny! Please be kind. We all start out somewhere. I can assure you I love this breed more than anything. The money is so far down the list of importance. Thank you |
So many things go into a stud contract. But, a few things to think of on being a stud owner as well as a bitch owner:
When you are attempting to breed as a the owner of the female and looking for that stud that will improve your girls faults. Your primary concern is the health of the stud (well both). And I'm sure you already know this. Both should have all the necessary tests performed.
Payment of stud fee is very dependent on what has been agreed upon both owners; it can be a pick of the litter (and if it was decided before hand that that was the agreement; one puppy is counted as a litter) or a stud fee ($2,500) wow!, is the stud a well sought after Champion that has produced Champions.....
The stud owner should be willing to take any pups you can't place and/or pups that have been placed but can't be kept by their owners. They are also responsible to help you with the whelp.
Now your statement of not wanting to get into the Champion niche.....Mmmmmm. If you aren't breeding to improve the breed and to improve the breed, then you shouldn't be breeding.
