What is a typical stud fee for a golden retriever?

Question

We are looking for a male golden retriever stud. We are not interested in showing the dog, but would still like a quality litter. Thanks

I must be honest, but if your dog hasn't shown and won titles, the owners of the best studs are not going to want to breed with you. Champion lines will only breed to champion lines - it's part of trying to better the breed and keep it standard when so much unresponsible breeding out there is producing sub-standard dogs with defects and nervous disorders.

Anyone else willing to stud to you is probably not going to be willing to pay for their male dog to be health tested to the depth that they need to be to ensure they won't pass on defectives. That's a big no no! Retrievers and labs are prone to lots of defects because they have been very irresponsibely bred over the years. Please don't add the problem!

I would suggest contacting a show quality breeder in your area and offering to help with their breeding program. A lot of them appreciate volunteers and people who want to learn. They can walk you through the process they go through, and maybe even help assess your dog for breeding potential. Who knows, maybe your dog is good enough for breeding! But you should get an expert's okay on it before you try. If she is, they'll help you find a quality stud.

Stud fees can vary pretty widely but of course your choice will be balanced by your interest in breeding quality dogs. So price of the stud is not the foremost consideration. Canine STDs are a serious thing, you'll also need to prove your female is brucellosis free. You may need to make arrangements in your home to keep as many as a dozen or so rambunctious puppies for eight weeks, give them vaccination and worming, and then continue to keep and begin training all of them until they get good homes. You will also need to prepare yourself to take puppies back if the pups become unwanted. They will live to be 12 years or so, so that is a long obligation.

OFA certifications and CERF on both parents add to the cost for breeders but if the breeder is inclined, that also increase the value of your puppies. Very few of us can afford to run a charity and breeding a litter responsibly can cost several thousand dollars.

There are no requirements that you must show your dog, and the breed club provides excellent guidelines for breeding your girl.

Here are guidelines from the Golden Retriever Club:
RESPONSIBILITIES AS A BREEDER:
===
GRCA members who breed Golden Retrievers are encouraged to maintain the purpose of the breed and are expected to demonstrate honesty and fairness in dealing with other owners and breeders, purchasers of dogs and the general public. Owners of breeding animals shall provide appropriate documentation to all concerned regarding the health of dogs involved in a breeding or sale, including reports of examinations such as those applying to hips and eyes. If any such examinations have not been performed on a dog, this should be stated. Breeders should understand and acknowledge that they may need to take back, or assist in finding a new home for, any dog they produce at any time in its life, if requested to do so. Members who breed should sell puppies, permit stud service, and/or lease any stud dogs or brood bitches only to individuals who give satisfactory evidence that they will give proper care and attention to the animals concerned, and who may be expected generally to act within the intent of the statements of this Code of Ethics. Members are encouraged to use clear, concise written contracts to document the sale of animals, use of stud dogs, and lease arrangements, including the use, when appropriate, of non-breeding agreements and/or Limited Registration. Members should not sell dogs at auction, or to brokers or commercial dealers.

Contact your dog's breeder and/or find out about who can mentor you and evaluate your stock and breeding goals.

Joint the National breed club and get their newsletters. Those can educate you about breed specific issues and help you raise top quality pups.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7Es

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

300 to 650. Sometimes if you give/recieve a puppy from the litter, it can be less expensive.
