WHAT is the general paying price for studding?

From what I hear, you can either get a pup or the price of a pet. But you should really talk with the owner of the female. Maybe you could get both! Good luck.

I've been showing dogs for about 25 years, breeding them for 19 and I own/breed/show Bernese. The Swiss Cross really is one of the last things you need to concern yourself with when breeding Bernese. 1. Bernese can have hereditary cancers... what does your dog's pedigree look like when it comes to cancers and AOD? 2. Is your dog listed on BernerGarde? Are his parents? If not, why not? 3. He needs an OFA number for hips and elbows.. this cannot be obtained until he is 2 years of age so I'm not quite sure how you know he has "great" hips. What were his parents hip scores? What about their elbows? 4. There are several genetic diseases that do not show up in a Berner until they are between 1 and 2 years of age. So.. minimum breeding age is 2 if you are going to do it right. 5. Are your dog's parents Champions? Was your dog sold as breeding stock? If not.. why not? 6. Does he have a CERF number? Do his parents? 7. Has his heart been certified by a veterinary cardiologist and with OFA? And his parents? This cannot be done until he is 1 year of age. 8. Has he been tested for VWD? And his parents? 9. Is he a Champion? 10. Are you willing to make sure any b*tch he is bred to has all the above clearances? A great dog who is a Champion and fails any of the above health issues will not be used at stud. Particularly the AOD average for his bloodline... and if that info is not available a reputable breeder will not touch him. Please get your dog the credentials he needs before breeding him. At minimum a Bernese Mtn Dog should not be bred until he is 2 years of age.. and has all his credentials. Edit: I would have some degree of concern at a Bernese weighing 80-90 lbs at 7 mos. In the case of hips/elbows and dysplasia growing big fast is not always best for the dog.

Is your Bernese a show champion? perhaps he is an outstanding, titled working dog? has he been fully health certified? is his temperament a testament to the breed?
If not, then you should have him neutered. Reputable Bernese breeders have the choice to choose between hundreds of proven, champion Bernese stud dogs. Why would they choose yours?
Enjoy your dog for what he is -- a great pet -- and leave the breeding to the experts. If you really want to "stud him", have your dog evaluated by a breed expert and get his or her opinion. If your dog is infact a quality, show worthy specimen of the breed, fantastic. If you do it the RIGHT way, that is great. You are breeding for a good cause -- the betterment of the breed. Otherwise, leave it be. There are enough unwanted puppies in rescues.

Is your Bernese being shown and is he OFA'd? If not, don't breed. Your dog should at least have titles to prove he is worth breeding. Stud fees are based upon your dog's proven characteristics. If your dog gets titles, his fee is worth more. Some breeders will take pick of the litter if the mother is exceptional, but many charge a stud fee. It takes time and diligence to get a dog to the level it is worth breeding. Don't be a typical backyard breeder who only wants the money for the puppies and doesn't care about breed quality. I have a rare breed also, but they weren't good enough to breed and so they were spayed.

You ask either for a puppy or money, the amount of money is usually about the amount of how much the puppies are selling for.

what exactly does your dog have to offer the breeding.
Has he been tested???
Has he been shown and have any titles or championship???
Has he been proven???
All this can and should determine the price that you can charge but it's between both owners.

you could ask for pick of the litter. Which is one of the more healthy and big pups. Or you could ask around 200 to 400 dollars.

Probably nothing. No one is going to let your random male anywhere near their bytch. Especially if you don't have any AKC titles and haven't have any health clearances on your dog.
