My female dog died two days later after she had seven puppies, and we informed the owner of the stud, after 4 weeks he said he didnt want one or anything to do with the animals what should we do. We had to hand raise them buying puppy formula and everything cost me over 1000 dollars and now when he sees how big they have gotten he all of a sudden wants one. What would seem fair. Should he have to pay for the dog or should he get the pick of the liter???

What was your original agreement? I"d say you'd have to stick to that. If pick of the litter was part of the stud agreement, then he still gets pick of the litter.

I am sorry to hear about your dog, and you must have done a great job with the puppies to get them to 4 weeks old.
Do you have any stud contract in writing, or any proof that he didn't want a puppy? With a traditional stud service, the stud owner gets the pick of the litter or the price of a puppy. But, since he said that he didn't want a puppy, that would mean that he gets price of a puppy. Do you want to keep one of the puppies? If you do, and the stud owner wants pick, maybe you could work something out where the stud owner gets 2nd pick of the litter (and you get 1st), that way you still have a part of the female that you lost and the stud owner gets a puppy too. I would just talk to the stud owner and see if you could work something out. If you had someone that heard or witnessed the stud owner say that he didn't want a puppy or anything, I would think that you owe him nothing.

If this was a agreement to share the litter and the profits they should pay for half of the bill. It seems to me that when your female passed they thought that all of the pups would die as well and wanted out of the agreement. When he saw that the pups are doing well now he wants back in. That does not seem fare at all. My Daughter is a breeder and sometimes bad things happen but all parties should be responsible. Besides the money that you are out you also lost your dog. So ask him to help pay for some of the cost or keep all of the pups as compensation.

First off, you have my deepest sympathy for you loss. If your original agreement was that he got the pick of the litter then that is his right. Are you planning on keeping the puppies or selling them? I know it is expensive to hand raise puppies (I had to hand raise 13). It is also very hard work. But you also have to think that it wasn't the studs fault. So even though you have had some unexpected expenses he still should get a puppy unless you choose to pay him if you think that would be more profitable to you. Last off, He upheld his end of the bargin for breeding his dog to yours. If you have no written agreement then you are not forced to give him/her a pup, but if you made the agreement (written or not) you should uphold your end of the bargin. Again Sorry for you loss.

It depends on what arrangement you originally made with him. If you said he could take his pick of the litter then you have made a legal agreement with him (even verbally) so he has the right to the pick. It isn't his fault that the mum died and wasn't his problem that it has cost you so much - in saying that I really do see where you are coming from. Rearing a litter of newborn pups is a big task and not an easy one so well done to you for doing such a great job.

What does your contract say??? He should get whichever you agreed to.
Stud owners do not usually get first pick, I would NEVER agree to that!
"We had to hand raise them buying puppy formula and everything cost me over 1000 dollars"
As the owner of the dam, that is your responsibility, not the the stud owners.

Charge for child support of rearing the one puppy he wants. divide 1000 by the number of puppies, that is what he should pay you for the dog. If you had an agreement in writing of course you need to stick with that original agreement and remember this next time you sign an agreement.

I am sorry that you lost your dog. It would seem to me that if you had an agreement with him that he would get pick of the litter and then he said, no, never mind I don't want anything to do with them, that should cancel out any agreement that you had before. He can't just keep changing his mind whenever he wants to. He broke the verbal contract with you. You did a good job raising these babies. It is not easy to raise orphaned pups. What kind of dogs are they? Are you keeping any of the pups?

NO... He said he wanted none when they needed cared for so that is it. It is a very hard job to hand feed a bunch of newborn pups it a very demanding job.If you want to give a pup thats fine but thats your choice and you get the pick of the liter. You raised and saved these animals lives and spent your money not to even speak on all the time. Good Luck its "your"decision.

except you have a written settlement with the canines proprietor you have truthfully no criminal duty to grant him p.c.. of the clutter. p.c.. of the clutter could be seen charge in LUI of a money charge for amenities rendered. This replaced into no longer deliberate, no settlement skill his canines gained charge by using their tying and that's all they get. Did your husbands relative help with the whelping? Did they help with costs? Did they help once you have been staying up a super type of the evening for the 1st 4 weeks to care and watch over the puppies? Did they do something different than enable their male to tie with your woman with out your permission? tell your husband to p.c.. sand, no longer something is loose in this international charge the relative comparable to you may everyone else. honest is honest. I do although would desire to contemplate whether collectively as you have been long gone if some affiliation have been made between your husband and the relative. Why else might he be so insistent?

Morally, I think you should have the decision what to do with the pups, as you lost your dog and did all the work with the litter and paid for it all. However, if you had a written agreement then you may need to stick with it. If he told you he didn't want a pup in writing (like over e-mail), I would keep a copy of it if you decide not to give him one..
sorry for your loss
