Hi...I know a woman who owns a stud. She says in her opinion, that one puppy is not a litter, nevermind one dead puppy. If any of these were the results, she would offer a second breeding or refund a percentage of the stud fee. I also believe she said that if the second time things didn't work out, she would refund the rest of the percentage and not allow her dog to breed with the female, as there may be a situation with the female...since her male is proven and since the female is the one who decides how many puppies (eggs etc) If I remember correctly. Still learning myself, so if I'm a bit off, forgive me. I guess everyone is different. That's why agreements from both the dam's owner and stud's owner should be made WAY in advanced. That way a mutual agreement can be made ahead of time and just in case of "this" or "that"...Thanks!
