Stud fees?


Recommended Posts


I may be using my dog for stud however as he is an unproven stud i have no idea what to charge the bitches owner....any ideas?

 

Anyone using an unproven dog is doing you a favour, you shouldnt be charging anything..once its proven, then you can put a price on the stud fee, once people use him and there is a chance to evaluate the quality of his pups, you can put the price up accordingly, at this point you are now doing them a favour.

Sorry mate but who is going pay a stud fee for a dog that as did nothing yet he may be out off good stuff but does not mean he is a good dog.A dog has till prove its self over 4 5 years before anyone should charge a price.

I breed a litter myself this year and paid £100 for the stud and that was off a good friend but the sire off my pups is a proven dog in the field.Think who every is going pay you for a stud need till have a look at them selfs but if there willing till pay then thats up till them.

He is proven in the field that is why this person has asked for his services, i havent used him as a stud before as it hasnt really crossed my mind, as i see it the pups would go for couple of hundred down here so i believe i should get something, wont ask for a stupid amount as im not a greedy git.

At the start off this topic you said he is not a proven stud now your saying he is good in the field yea need make it clear that the dog is good at his job and what he is doing deer fox hare rabbit etc so ppl can help and yea and not get on your back

I know what you meant sussexpoacher mate :thumbs: Your good working dog is going at stud for the first time, right, and you dont know what to charge.....

 

personally i wouldnt charge a friend or someone I knew well, regardless. And I agree with the above post, regarding the fact that he is as yet, an un-proven sire of good workers. So if you do charge, id keep it low. JMO

[bANNED TEXT] I was introducing my stud I would charge a daily fee for the time the bitch was in my care for mating and then ask for a dog and a bitch depending on litter size bk at 12 week. This way you can sell the pups and act as if that's ur stud fee.

How about.......

 

Only line good working bitches that pups won't be getting sold for silly money. Give them the lining for free and keep a pup back for yourself. If you dont want the pup then give it to one of your mates. IF you or your mates dont want a pup then why give a stud out? Theres plenty of unhomed lurcher pups in the rescue centres. Why create more? Only breed when theres a need. :icon_eek:

Personally i would never charge for a stud, but then again, i would'nt give a stud to anyone who sells pups, and i would never give one of my pups to anyone who sells dogs either.... :victory:

 

Good Luck....JD
