STUD OWNER RIGHTS:
1. Stud owner should not be forced to accept puppy share as payment. Why? Stud owners has the right to choose which transaction he can agree to accept puppy share based on a) Quality of dam/bitch b) how well he knows the breeder/bitch owner c) his capability to take in a puppy in his kennel.
2. Stud owners should not abuse clients also. I have heard of some stud owners who demand stud fee + puppy share.
3. Stud fee should be paid before or right after the FIRST mating. No 'pay later plan'.
4. Standard practice for bitch not taking (didn't get pregnant) is for stud owner to do a repeat (warranty). But as a stud owner, I require to have bitch brought in front of me to actually see that she didn't get pregnant before the 60th day from the first mating or I will not do a repeat. Repeat session conditions due to not taking of bitch should be agreed upon before the start of the first mating. Usually its standard to have only 1 repeat but it depends on the stud owner.
5. As a stud owner and breeder, I suggest doing a smear test to bitches on heat to have a more reliable mating start date. You can visit/ask your veterinarian for more details.
