2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | New: Need advise on stud fee's Hello everyone! This forum is a bit confusing and very overwhelming...I'm not sure where I should post my threads. So here it goes.. I need help with what a fair stud fee payment should be. Please help...this is my first time having to go outside the home for stud service. I have recently had my 8 yr old male who was too big for our new dam neutered. I have a 7bl. /petite female and have found a 4bl. male to use as stud for her. Neither come from show dog backgrounds and the pups are only to be considered pet quality. We have agreed on the breeding procedure but are stuck on what the cost of the stud fee should be. I plan on asking $600 for the pups if that helps. |

No Longer a Member | What are you interested in breeding your female? You already seem aware that any pups that come from a breeding from your dam will be "pet quality" so why even bother? After vet expenses for pre-breeding tests, possible c-section, shots, birthing supplies, etc. you won't be making a profit off these little pups. Not that you should be forcing a dog to become a "money tree" anyway. Please reconsider breeding your dam, if it's not for the betterment of the breed I really don't see the point. JMO. |

| If the male is proven and has had all of the pre-requisite testing done, then $500 or $600. If I was looking for a stud meeting your criteria, that is what I would consider reasonable. |

| I often swallow my gum when pet breeders tell me they charge the price of a puppy or take a litter pick...a nice puppy of quality and pedigree can run $3000 or more...even an average pet can be $1800..I would never pay that...and only would agree to a puppy back if the sire was one of the best in the country..even then I would perfer to pay the fee... |

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | [QUOTE=Mardelin;3453245]Good Luck. But, pet quality should be a good representation of the breed. And if you aren't breeding to improve the breed, it shouldn't be done. The only way quality pet puppies are produced is if you start out with quality sire and dam[/QUOTE In my oppinion Both are of good quality and represent the breed standards. Yorkies in Ohio cost much less which doesn't mean that they are of poor quality. They just cost less....

Some of the Yorkies and other breeds that cost "less" in Ohio are due to Amish puppy mills.
