How much should I charge to breed my male golden retriever with a female?

Question

I have a male golden retriever and am interested in breeding him but do not know what I should charge.

Answer 1

Human or canine female?

Answer 2

a million. It a great deal relies upon on the place you purchase the dogs, the titles the dogs holds, it fairly is character and it fairly is mothers and fathers. A nicely bred dogs might nicely be very costly. expenses close to one thousand money or extra at the instant are not uncommon. in simple terms save in mind that cost does not equivalent high quality. there are a number of multi thousand dollar sick, poorly bred dogs. 2. A breeder frequently won't own the male and woman dogs. the female proprietor and the male proprietor artwork out a deal. each and every each and every now and then they split the clutter, different circumstances the female proprietor will pay a stud value. A male dogs and a mom dogs frequently won't get alongside. they might combat. it rather is why breeders often have not got the two dogs. An intact male might desire to attempt to harm the domestic dogs (he might desire to be certain them as invading his territory) and the female dogs might desire to attack the male (she might desire to be certain him as getting too on the brink of her domestic dogs.) the main serious element nevertheless is that it fairly is not approximately money. Breeding won't get you wealthy. in case you do it precise, you will likely lose money interior the top, after nutrition, supplies, vet expenses, registration papers, titles, stud costs, etc. Golden Retrievers are not a uncommon breed. there are a number of breeders accessible. So the opportunities of you getting caught with a clutter of domestic dogs are good. Thats whilst the dogs replace into too plenty, and that they finally end up in shelters. only one thing to think of roughly in the previous you do what rather some individuals do.

Answer 3

I assume if you are offering him at stud, he is finished. Special him and win some BOBs and group placements. If you do this, and he is very nice, then the girls will come to you.

If he is finished and nice, you may be able to charge $500-$700. If he is not, his stud service isn't worth much and no good breeder is going to want to use him. If he is not finished, why would they want to use yours when there are so many high quality CH studs available?

Are you ready for the increase in male behaviors you are likely to get from him being used like aggression, humping, and marking in the house? Stud dogs are not always the best of pets and some can become rather hard for a novice to handle. Your dog will remain a much nicer pet if he is never used. If you are wanting a puppy, go buy one.

Answer 4

Don't listen to all of these people that say not to breed we are all in the business and we all started some where. Just make sure that your puppies go to good homes. Most of the time when my studs are used we charge what the price of 1 puppy would sell for in your area. Also don't think that you will be able to make a lot of money from dog breeding just look at it as a great Hobie. Have fun.

Answer 5

Before thinking about a stud service charge, have his hips and elbows been OFA certified, eyes CERF'd, ect... If yes, this all depends on the lines of your stud. Show lines, field lines. Is he titled in anything? AKC conformation or obedience titles? A lot of this weighs in on this. Normally a stud fee is about the same as the price of a pup. In the Shepherds, normally the stud fees are around $500. Less than what a show Shepherd pup is, but with the show lines a breeder would like to get their progeny out in the ring. A lot of the German line breeders charge anywhere from $500-$1500 for stud, with prices of those pups upwards of $3000. These are from Schutzhund titled parents. If you find a ***** that you are interested in, and would like something out of, you might breed for a puppy back from that *****. Pick puppy. This is a big gamble though. You can breed that pair and take a look at the pups, and go Oh Yuck! LOL
On the other side of this, a friend of mine bred her American show female with a nice stud of hers. He is American and German, nice structure, but not show structure. She has one of the best show puppies that I have ever seen!! It is a total outcross pedigree wise as well. That is another thing, make sure that you pick carefully when someone wants to use him for stud, to make sure that they just don't have a junk pedigree, and require the owner of the ***** to sell pups with limited registration unless you OK a pup to go with full registration.

Answer 6

The best thing is to browse the local paper and get an idea of the going price for goldens. The way it usually goes is the stud fee is pick of the litter or the cost of the highest price puppy (most times female pups are a little more expensive than males). We recently had our yellow lab stand stud for the first time and we received $350. I would guess that goldens and labs are along the same price lines so I would estimate a stud fee of $300-$500.

Answer 7

Goldens are susceptible to several debilitating hereditary disorders. Before mating you should have your stud's hips and elbows certified by the OFA, his eyes certified by the CERF and have a cardiologist certify that he does not suffer from congenital heart murmurs. You also need to have your vet check him for STDs including Brucellosis and herpes. A responsible stud owner will only breed to a ***** who has been similarly vetted. Before you set your stud fee you need to contact your vet and ask how much this will cost, and then add in the profit you expect to take in to determine your stud fee. If you have more than one ***** lined up you can split the fees amongst the interested parties.

Answer 8

Depends on the quality of your male. Has he proven himself as a good representative of the breed in dog shows? Is he at least registered with the AKC? If he's just your pet, you shouldn't be breeding him in the first place and should instead have him neutered.....Also, how are his hips? There are a lot of things to think about when breeding animals.

Answer 10

Yeah, a backyard bred Golden with no Championship points,and no health clearances isn't worth much. The only females he can be bred to would be backyard bred females with no health clearances.
Is it worth it just to pimp your dog for some bucks???

Answer 11

Do the world a favor, and produce no more puppies!!!!!!!!!!!! Thousands of dogs, even pure breds are euthanized daily because there just aren't enough homes. Have him castrated, and have a great pet.
