What is the usual stud fee for pug breeding? Does he deserve more since his pug is champion-bred? Thanks a lot.
Note: To any and all who want to discourage me from breeding my pug, please know I am collaborating closely with my veterinarian. This will be my third time breeding. I am aware of all the potential health hazards that could arise and I have taken measures to prepare myself in case any problems occur. Believe me I love my pug very dearly.

As a response to nealry every asker who has chosen to attack me, let me say the following:
1. No, it's not the same pug. Thanks for assuming.
2. I asked what the going rate was because I thought it might have changed a since while ago. Thanks for assuming I was an idiot.
3.)As for any kind of overpopulation problem, pure bred pugs slel for $600. So you tell me if this refelects a lack of loving homes and demand for pugs. This time you're the idiot.
4.) Half of the pups are going to my family who adores pugs. How selfish!!!
5.)Why in the hell do you think that bringing more beautiful pug puppies into the world
is selfish? What bad people we pug lovers are!
Answer those questions for me and I'll consider not breeding her. Have fun attacking other askers you miserable women, because i'm laughing at how pathetic you are.
by the way "too" as in an excess is spelled with two o's.

I am sorry to say this but dog breeders are not promoting the breed of the dog, they are lining their pockets, at the expense of a living animal.
If you have already bred three times (same dog?) what is the big deal.
Stud fees for a pug---500 to 1000.
Let her live in a loving environment. That is all she wants.

If you Pug is 18 months old, then she should be going into her third heat, and it would be okay if you had waited until now to breed her, however I'm very concerned about the fact you said that this is your third time breeding. If you meant it's the third time for this Pug, you are breeding her to death.
If I had a dog with a champion blood line, I would only let it breed with another dog with an adequate bloodline. Since you don't mention your dog having such a bloodline, I really don't think that the owner of the stud will be interested in getting one of the pups. You might just have to pay up an above range fee for it.

In my experience with my French Bulldogs, the cost of a ch. stud service is 75% of the prices of a puppy. This is do to the fact that Frenchies often do not have very many puppies and they have to have c-sections and be artificially inseminated.
You will just have to work it out with the stud owner, but I would think that $700-1000 would be reasonable for an AKC champion stud. Also, it will cost more since the dog is a champion.
I would think that a normal stud would be $350-500, but you will have much better luck selling the puppies if they are champion sired, so it probably is worth the extra cost.

My aunt charges $400 - $600 stud fee.
Pugs tend to have small litters. It is not uncommon for there to only be one or two puppies that survive. Some breeders have reported that a litter has cost them up to $4,000, not including time off of work!
If you are a dog lover, you already know about the incredible pet overpopulation problem: approximately 6 million dogs and cats are killed each year in pounds and shelters because there are no homes for them. Yes, Pugs are among those that end up homeless. Thousands of them each year! You certainly wouldn’t want any Pug that you helped bring into the world, or their offspring to end up with such a horrible fate, so make sure you know what is involved in breeding before you take the first step!

Just because his pug is a champion does not mean he's top quality. If this dog was top quality, the owner would ONLY let him be used on females who are excellent examples of the breed because any puppies sired by him who are of lesser quality are a reflection on his stud.
What does "collaborating closely with my veterinarian" mean? Has your dog been tested for brucellosis? has the potential stud? has she been evaluated as an excellent pug? what other health exams has she cleared? do both dogs have impeccable temperaments?
The going rate for stud fee is the price of a puppy (which you should know since you've bred before!!)

Well, if you've done this before and your vet isn't an idiot, why are you breeding at 18 months! Don't you know that any GOOD breeder waits until the dog is at least 2 years old.My god the dog is still too young for that!
Anyhow, yes a champion stud will cost more because of his status. The fees range but i wouldn't go by price, you want the highest quality you can get, so fork out a little more for a better stud.

No. Breeding your female because she is purebred and has a good temperament isn't a good reason to breed her at all. Think about all the other kind beagle pups in shelters. All the people who bred their dogs for the same reason...don't do it. You have a pet-quality dog. That's not a bad thing, but its also not a reason to breed. Unless your dog can get show titles and find an equally good male, you should just spay her and go adopt a puppy from the shelter.

Why... first your pug is way toooo young!!!!! second of course if it is a champion you should pay more... you would have a lot more success and if you really care about your dog become involved in training and with you local AKC club you just might find out why breeding a dog at that age is very dangerous!! Any person who had a real "champion" wouldn't let you breed your "mut" with it!!!

A "champion -Bred" stud and a "champion" stud are not the same thing. Champian means he's of good comformation for his breed - Champian bred mean he was bred in the hope of good conformation but may be a dissapointment as ugly as a mud fence. needless to say the stud fee for the CH is higher and the qualifications to be a mate are too

It depends, is he a finished champion, or "champion-bred"?
If he is a champion, probably $600-700.
If he is not a champion, find a stud that is. Champion bred means nothing, he could have a champion 4 generations ago and be called that.
You said - "As a response to nealry every asker who has chosen to attack me..."
LOL! Welcome to the ARlite members of YA!
