Is is disrespectful to negotiate a stud fee? I found a stud that is registered with the same kennel as my female. But I was wondering if $500.00 is too much to pay for a stud fee. The stud is not a proven stud and this would be his first breeding as well as for my female. Is it disrespecting to negotiate the price of a stud fee? I have not came up with a contract either. Does anyone have a sample breeding contract I can look at so that I can have an idea what to include in there? |
I dont think that it is disrespectable to neg. a stud fee. What does his background pedigree look like? You want to know what you are getting as far as the quality of the dog. If he has never studded before, How do you know it will take, Make sure that the contract states a complete tie. I am sure that there are breeders and stud people on this forum that will read your thread and copy you a contract. There are so many variables for the studding of a dog. So much that can happen, Please check into it. there are tests that should be done on the male. I dont have my paperwork that I researched because I just decided to buy a male and breed myself. But there are people on here that will have more answers then I did. Good Luck |
i don't think it is disrespectful at all to negotiate. I also think 500. is way to much for an unproven stud. You can bred to a champion male in some states for that price. Also, ditto what the other poster said about picking the stud. it is the stud owner's place to provide the contract. |
stud fee It is common to reduce the fee if the male is not proven...$500 for a proven stud is fair. Perhaps, half is not... |
i also feel 500.00 is a fair stud fee. there are only two other studs that i know of in my area. one is for a 5 generation champion pedigree for a silky terrier and she charges 2000.00. the other for a yorkie is 1000.00....only a few champion .....she uses this as her selling tool. so, i think it is a fair price but due to the stud not being proven, i would definately go lower. i would just ask nicely if the price is neg. due to him not being proven. |
Is the stud a champion or at least pointed? Is his breeder current on all the test necessary and will she be responcible for the pups in the event that you can't? The selection of the stud is very important, make sure he ihas the genetic makeup that you want your pups to carry. I think $500. is a bit much for an unproven male but I guess it really does depend on where you're located. This should all be discussed with the studs owner and put down in writing. |
VA Lisa..there are reputable VA breeders with champion studs under $1000 if you ever are interested. |
It's not uncommon to not charge a stud fee on an unproven stud. |

Why would you come up with a contract ? |

There are several options. Bite the bullit, negotiate a percentage of the sale price on each puppy, or a puppy back. |

I was just asking because one of my friend didn't charge for stud fee and the lady never respected the contract stipulating that my friend would have a pup . The bitch had 5 pups and the woman sold 3 of them and kept 2 . They went in court and the judge told my friend " what could we do its life , why deprieving a poor woman of her living" ? |

The funniest thing is the same woman came to me asking for free stud fee with my little boy for her unproven female and it was the female that had 5 pups . You should have seen her face when I told her that I knew all the story concerning her unproven Yorkie . The nerves of some peoples . |
Didn't take your question as offending. I really thought it was just a question you wanted an answer on an unproven male. I forgot to say that a contract is only as good as the 2 people signing it. Wow! what a judge, stating that your friend was depriving the woman of making a living. But, at whose expense....making a living off of others. |

Same here, and if for some reason a good friend or fellow exhibitor/breeder wants my studs it must be cleared with my breeder. |
stud service I am wondering I want to use my male for service. This is his first time do you breed them (bitch) at your house or does he go to there house? I do not want any puppies. I have a contract which states I can have one or just use for stud. Please help me. Thanks Cheryl P.S. He is proven champship blood lines. I have the paper work. Which state he does not have any defects. |

The female is bred in your home. The ideal is to have the female in your home for a few days prior to and through the breeding. Just so that she can settle in and they get use to each other. Has he ever been used for stud, in other words has he been proven? If he has not your fee should be waived or at least a discount. If the breeding does not result in a litter, your contract should reflect that a repeat breeding is offered at no additional cost. Proof of championship blood lines is no guarantee of what he will produce. |
breeding Thank You for the information No, he has not been done before I was wondering if I should wave the fee. I know this is a chance on what I get. He is not a show dog. The avatar is Jack. Thank you again Cheryl:animal-pa |

The norm for an unproven stud is to waive the fee. A reduced stud fee is acceptable. The breeding process is not only to prove your stud and provide yorkies that are a good representation of the breed, but to establish yourself as reputable. There is a great deal of responsiblity as a stud owner too. Make sure that the owner of the female is reputable too, willing to uphold her end of the contract. Oh! and make sure that the female has gone through all the medical tests too. Eyes, ears, heart tested. Knees and hips x-rayed too. Bile acid tested. |
