If you don't want to give him a puppy, then give him some money. Verbal contracts are just as valid. And you could be in a whole heap of problems if your county has deemed "backyard breeding" to be illegal. He'd be covered under the whistleblower policy, but you wouldn't.
And for the record, mating two dogs to get a "new and rare breed" means you have a litter of mutts, nothing more.

1st off, there are no new rare breeds. You're making a fashion dog, and they're mutts. (OMG I sound like GetEm... well, at least I'm nice about it). Second... yes, you made a verbal agreement, and tradition states that the owner of the father gets to choose a pup. Maybe not pick of the litter, but he gets a pup. ESPECIALLY, if you paid no "stud fees"
Oh... and if he *DOES* take you to court... all he has to do is find this forum... you've given him evidence that a verbal agreement really does exist. A clever computer user can trace back through to prove that your screen name is attached to you.

Generally when breeding dogs, the owner of the male gets the pick of the litter (to sell or keep or whatever they want to do with it) or they get paid a stud fee (or whatever it's called) for the use of their dog. When we bred our male daschund to a friend's female, we just took the pick of the litter. If you don't want to give up a puppy, then pay him. If you don't have the money, then part with the puppy because if you can't afford to pay him, then how are you going to afford to feed your dogs as they grow older?

You might be able to get away with neither paying or giving him a puppy - but you'll be shooting yourself in the foot if you try it.
You made a bargain. Either pay the man or give him a puppy. If you don't honor your committment, then he'll be fully justified in spreading the word far and wide that you're not a good person to deal with and you'll never find another good male to mate with your dog.

Well he said he wanted money OR he wanted to pick a puppy. He didn't say who's decision it was. What "bit of trouble" are you talking about here?? Keep in mind though that an agreement is an agreement whether its verbal or written. If you admit that it was verbal than it exists...it's probably not as strong as a written agreement though.

yes he could.
You made this agreement with him, even if it was just verbal you need to keep it. Either give him money or give him a puppy. If not you could end up in more trouble down the line for not following through with your part of the agreement.

yes ,you bet he can take you to court on a verbal breeding agreement. this agreement of stud fee or pick of the litter is standard and as old as the hills. besides first of all you wouldnt havethe pups without his dog,.
what the heck would you want to keep all the pups for they would just end up breeding with each other. then you can have retarded dogs

think how you would feel if you was done the same way. it was
an agreement and you should stand by it. most breeders are doing it this way. my sister bred her yorkie and the breeder wants a puppy or the money if she doesnt like the pups. breeders want the pup sometimes for the carrying on of the bred that have. i could go on and on but i think you will do the right thing.

Sometimes verbal is all you need. If you don't want to give up the puppies, you may have to pay him.
See if you can't get a free consultation with a lawyer in your area to get all the facts. he may be able to take you to court.
