I have just inherited a King Charles Spaniel. His mother cost $3200.00. "Charlie" will be 2 years old in November. It is quite obvious that he is ready for stud service. How do I go about it, and how much should I charge?

Check out http://www.akc.org . You can find a list of breed clubs in your area. Take your pup to local shows and meetings. Once other local breeders see your dog in action and he gets some points next to his name the bitches will be lining up to breed to him.

DO NOT BREED DOGS FOR PROFIT!!!
Learn all you can about Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Become an expert in the breed. Answer questions pertaining to the breed. (This will take a few years). Become known in the breed community (participate in the breed club). Build a good reputation for yourself within the breed community. Learn about genetics in dogs. Find a dam that can make a positive contribution to the breed pool. Make sure that your dog (the sire) can make a positive contribution as well. Get all his health clearances / certifications in order. Allow potential dams and puppy people to screen you and your dog.
When someone asks,"What qualities in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel are you seeking to perpetuate in this breeding?" Or "What do you like / dislike about your dog as a stud?" Or "What health concerns are prevalent in the lines of your dog?" Or "When and why did you know that your dog would make a good stud?" You better be prepared to give a good answer.
If all this is done correctly, a breeder who likes your dog as a stud will travel to you at their expense for the breeding (when the dam is ready), and the usual stud fee is the cost of a puppy, or a puppy from the litter. Be prepared to review and sign a stud contract at this time too.

Is this a King Charles Spaniel, known here in the states as the English Toy Spaniel, or is it a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which is related but a separate breed.
Check his registration papers. Then join his breed club. There is a "breed" club for each breed in the AKC. CKCS also have their own separate breed club.
Then get a thorough vet check. Cavaliers should not be breed under age 2 and half to see if they have congenital heart disease. Have the vet also check for hip displasia and slipping patellas -- knees. He will also need an eye exam. If all is good to go, you need to enter him in a dog show and see if he wins points.
The purpose of a dog show is not just who have the pretties dog. It is to prove that your dog conforms to the breed standard and if worthy of breeding. If he is, you will meet people at the show who will be interest in his stud service.
You should not breed him to a dame who has not proven herself in the show ring. Just because a dog has a registered pedigree does not make him/her worthy of breeding. You want the litter to be quality puppies. If the breeder is not active in the club and in the show ring, move on. When you find one, look at his/her dogs at the show. And ask around the club about the quality of his/her dogs. You need to know the reputation of the breeder and of their kennel.
Next, you need to know the placement policy of the breeder you will stud him to. You don't want his puppies to go to just anybody, or to pet stores, or puppy millers. And you want the breeder to insist that adopting families not active in the breed clud must have the puppies spayed or neuter. Dog breeding should not be undertaken Most people who stud out dogs promise to provide a second visit for no additional fee if no pregrancy results from the first mating. Also, the owner of the stud usually asks to get one puppy back from the litter in addition to the fee.
Dog breeding is not just a one night stand affair. It takes time, effort, and knowledge.

Stud service is when the owner of a male dog will breed that dog with a female dog for a price. The male dog being "studded" has normally won several dog shows and is a good specimen of his breed.

A male dog owner is paid to mate his male dog with a female dog. That is a stud service. It includes contracts in case a breeding doesn't take place.

Well, go to www.offa.org and see what health clearances are required for your breed, get them,and have the dog evaluated by at least 2 breeders of the breed that do not know him. If he passes all his health clearances, and is an excellent example of the breed, then you can look into offering stud service.

How is it quite obvious? Has he finished all his points in the show ring? Have you had the dog tested and certified that he is free of any genetic disorders...eyes, hips, knees etc? The female you plan to breed to should also be tested for genetic problems too. Please, just don't throw 2 dogs together so you can make a quick buck off of your dog. Do things the right way.
The price of the mother does not mean much. I have a dog whose mother and father were both Champion show dogs. My dog is not show quality, therefore, he is not breeding quality.
