Well... Since you want to charge for a "service," think about when you get things done for yourself. You want to pay for the best right? So when you're offering something, then offer the best! How do you know what you have is the best? That's easy. Study your pups lines (look into he health history of generations past), have your boy health tested (and no, a wellness check is not enough, there is a list of health tests to check for diseases both genetic and STD and on and on, one of the breeders will list them for you since I don't know them all by name), have your boy looked at by those who know, like show people, judges, etc. they can help you evaluate your dog for quality.
I know it sounds mean and detached, but that's the honest truth about studding. If I had a female that I needed a stud for, I'm not going to exchange money with you unless I know I'm getting the best. That's how you know what to charge.
