Hi Tanya, its Julz again. Like others are saying, "She's giving you half????" That would be shocking. Normally for stud service you get pick of the litter, or an amount equal to one puppy or less of an amount, but never have I heard of getting half of the money from a litter. You would definetly have to sign a contract for that agreement (or any agreement for that matter). She may want the bloodline of your puppy, but she is the one "at risk" because she has the female and anything can happen. If you are getting your pup neutered, better to do it as soon as the vet will allow. If you are not, and do decide to breed with her, more or less the only "risk" you should run into with the male is a sexually transmitted disease. Check into these things and double check with the breeder and see what the intentions really are.

The above post from Pat means half of the $total from the entire litter, not 3-4 thou per pup. It just doesn't make sense that the breeder would offer half of what she would make on the litter. she has care of the female, risk of the females health, vet bills, care of the puppies, and more and more vet bills just for one litter.
