I have a male boxer and my friend just asked if I would breed him with his female. How much would I ask for?

If both of your dogs are registered dogs, i would say $300 is reasonable.
OR you can ask for first-pick of the litter.
But I recommand that you think one more time before you breed your dog because chanses are, more than one of them can end-up in a shelter, or worse.

Is your dog registered? Has it achieved any of it's levels at dog shows? Have it's hips, shoulders and elbows been cleared of dysplasia? Has a vet cleared it's heart as sound? And what about the female?
It's very important that before you breed dogs that the dogs are healthy and not just meet breed standard but are at the top. I have seen too many boxers that are "genetic nightmares" because of improper breeding.
As for how much you should charge for stud fees, contact your local AKC or CKC Boxer Clubs to find out the average.

As a breeder of shetland sheepdogs, I can honestly tell you this:
Studding out your dog usually gets the sale cost of one puppy or the puppy itself. If you choose to get a pup You should be the one to get first pick of the litter after the owner of the female has chosen before anyone else. If you chose the route of getting the money for the puppy instead of keeping a pup the pricing varies.
Price really depends on your breed of dog that you have. What the quality of the dog is...for example if your dog is a purebred and show quality dog, you can ask more for the dog. But if the puppy is not show quality - meaning does not meet the standards that the show clubs have stated as standard for your breed. - you may only get pet quality price for it. Different breeds go for different prices. Check online for information on your breed of dog Often times you will be able to find a site where other breeders with your breed of dog will be advertising puppies for sale and you can get an idea of the going price there. However, If your dog is not purebred or the puppies will not be purebred they will not be worth much. Registering your dog with a club like AKC or UKC will generate more money for you puppies also as long as they are purebred. Also, your area can make a difference in price. If there is also a high demand for your breed of dog that can affect the asking price for a puppy. Breeds that dont have a high demand for them will not be worth as much as a breed that has a high demand.

The owner of the male usually gets "pick of the litter" - though you could also agree that you will be paid the same amount as the value of the most valuable pup in the litter. But you should both think very carefully about this! Breeding dogs (properly) is VERY expensive - esp.considering Boxers frequently need C-section deliveries - which cost over $1000.00! Please do your research - and think carefully.

you shouldnt be breeding either of your dogs. it is irresponsible, especially if you are doing it for money and dont know anything about breeding and raising of puppies. Not to mention that boxers suffer from a slew of heritable defects (heart, skin and bone diseases, several types of cancer). You should only be breeding your dogs if they are show dogs. Just because they are registered does not mean that you should be breeding them.
find another way to make money, but dont do it at the expense of an animal.

If your dog is registered, the usual stud fee can be,(depending on the quality of your dog), pick of the litter, or depending on whether or not your dog has won any champion titles, anywhere from 300 to 800. At best. But sometimes it is more but that is only for the top dogs. Those with many championships, and, of course don't forget to have all the pre-tests done. Especially hip xrays. You wouldn't want to find out that your dog passed on crippling hip dysplasia to babies. Anyways hope this helps.

Don't breed inless you're a professional. If your dogs aren't registered the value of pups is a lot lower. Also, you're dog may have a limited contract meaning you may not even be able to breed. If your friend wants to just breed to increase his pets, tell him to adopt. Theyre are way too many homeless dogs. Don't support amiture breeding, it just damages the line.
Stud service can cost up to 1,000 dollars.

The price of a puppy or pick of the litter!!! But if you are a real friend and don't really need the money or a puppy it would be nice of you to let your dog breed his for free....

Depends on what you both agree on. You can either take the sale of puppy or pick of a litter. Just make sure you have everything written down and both parties sign.. That way when it comes to paying up there is no question.. Friends or no friends you need a contract..

It would depend on if the female has papers, also does your dog has papers, because if your dog and your friends female dog has papers the dog would be expensive. Or sometimes you can get first pick of the litter before he sells them. Good Luck
