Estimate of how much does stud service cost?

Question

Any breeders out there know about how much it costs to use another dog for stud? We have a resgistered female dog we'd like to breed next year. Thanks.

We have NOT bred her before. My prior question about the litter was a hypothetical. She is AKC registered, show quality.

Answer 1

One puppy from the litter or the cost of one puppy from the litter.

Answer 2

The stud fee on most dogs is a choice by individual breeders.If you're planning on breeding your pet to any outside studs,just be sure that the breeding stud you choose has had all test done for different diseases,as your pet can obtain possible diseases by breeding other dogs.My stud fees are based on the price a pup would sell for in a particular breed.

Answer 3

First show her to make sure she is "show quality".
This is also where you find stud possibilities with
other dogs being shown.

It is complicated and not very profitable to breed dogs and just because a dog looks good and is AKC registered certainly does not make her breeding material - you need to research her bloodlines back several generations to rule out genetic problems that can be passed on.

There are all too many people breeding because they think it's fun or profitable - when it should only be done for the good of the breed.

Take your dog to some AKC sanctioned matches and find out about breeding and what is involved.

Rescues and shelters are full of good looking AKC registered dogs looking for homes - most never find them and end up euthanized, please think carefully before you possibly add to that sad, sad number.

Answer 4

Stud service is usually the price of a show puppy. So check out the price of show pups in your breed and that should give you an idea! Good luck! If you are going to only be using your pups for pet then it would be the price of a pet quality pup!

Answer 5

If your dog truly is show quality, then I assume you have already been in the ring with her and are already working toward her championship in confirmation in order to prove it to others. If you are doing this, then this is where you would be meeting other breeders, of which likely have studs possibilities also earning their championship in the ring. That is where you meet your potential studs, as well as find out what possible fees might be involved.

If you are not finishing your dog to conformation championship, then breeding is not something you should be considering.

Answer 6

It can range from $300-$1,500. That doesn't include shipping to a male, if the breeder has to do progesterone testing, and transportation fees to an from the airport.
You will have to get a brucellosis test performed on the female and you should make sure the the stud has one too before he breeds to your dog.
Before you breed make sure you do genetic testing. If the tests don't come out normal then you shouldn't breed her.

Answer 7

Depends on the bloodlines of the stud, what he has papers for, and if he is finished. I wouldnt advise breeding your ****** however unless she has points or is finished by the time of breeding, otherwise not many good studs will be available to you. If you got a pointed or finished stud he would easily be 500usd - 1000usd.

Answer 8

Ussually either pick of litter, or whatever the puppy's value is.

If she is show quality, then show her to proove it. You wont find a quality stud unless you are prooving that your dog is quality too.

People with quality studs do not stud their dogs out to mediocre dogs. Doesnt matter if you SAY that she's registered and "show quality". Having reproduction organs and papers does not make a dog show quality.

Answer 9

Usually cost of 1 puppy.
But, be careful as dogs can carry VD and yoour breeder/stud should be vet checked for clean sexual health as well as your female. I would hate for you to contaminate your female.
As for breeding your pet, go ahead, if you can find good responcible homes. If you have trouble with placing them get her fixed.

Answer 10

Well, if it's the same Dachshund you bred to a male, you won't find a quality male from a reputable breeder, because I'm guessing since you bred her to an ACA male, that she isn't of show-quality, meaning she should only be a pet, not your personal beeding machine.

For another backyard bred dog, it will depend. At least $200, or pick of litter.

Answer 11

I assume you are asking how to be a responsible breeder. :-)

1. Contact a breed club for your breed. Ask for a mentor.
2. STUDY the breed standard. Learn about dog anatomy and ask your mentor to
clarify anything you don't understand.
3. Learn what genetic faults and diseases run in your breed and test for any
that can be tested for.
4. Show your dog in conformation events to see if it is of the proper
quality for breeding. Winning doesn't always mean a dog is breeding quality,
but being around so many others that know your breed and will talk to you
will do wonders for your self-education efforts!
5. Study the past history of great dogs in your breed. You will see how your
breed has improved and progressed since the beginning of the breed.
6. Study the breed standard some more! ;-)
7. Join any Yahoo groups about your breed.
8. Live, dream and study your breed.
9. Get a good book on canine reproduction, and educate yourself about the
pitfalls, problems, and proud moments of breeding. Learn about the
physiology of reproduction, such as heat cycles and venereal diseases in
dogs, potential for problems specific to your breed, and what you need to
expect at whelping.
10. Remember that whelping (giving birth) can kill your female. Being used
as a stud dog can encourage bad behaviors common in intact males such as
territorial marking, aggression, and desire to roam from home.
11. Prepare to be broke. Breeding properly is EXPENSIVE.
12. Line up potential homes for any puppies you produce and write up a
contract. Remember to include that you will be willing to take back your
puppies at any time in their lives that they might need you. If you bring
life into this world, it is your responsibility FOREVER.
13. Prepare to spend sleepless nights attending whelping females, caring for
fading puppies or puppies orphaned, and practice cleaning up after 24/7 poop
machines.

I'm sure there are many things I missed because being a responsible breeder
isn't just a job. It's a way of life. You will live dogs. 24/7/365. There
are lots of hard decisions. There is a lot of expense. There will be pain.
But, if you do your darndest to always keep the welfare of your dogs and the
future of any of their offspring, you can go to step 14.

14. Enjoy the love and success of a job well done.
