What would you DO? - Page 2

" (no one told me it had to be the stud owner who picks first...)"

What?? Who told you they do?? That is something to be agreed upon before the breeding. My business partner and I reserve pick male and female for ourselves always, always, always..... the litter is ours......For instance, the stud owner is taking a puppy from our next litter, we will probably relinquish one of our picks since we aren't planning on keeping anything ourselves (at this point, anyway)..but that is our decision and we will discuss it further as time goes on....

I also would not have used a different stud if it wasn't one I had planned on using or was ok with.. once again, you paid for the services of stud X and you were not given those services.. is Stud Y going to give you what you want??

I would ask you if the agreement  was made for the same terms as the 2nd stud....

Ha, no one is ever gonna tell you when their stud is overused.. that again is our responsibility, to ask questions.... I like to know how often he is used and how often he is tested for bacteria and infection and sperm quality. If it ticks someone off, that's fine.. there are lots of fish in the sea, as they say!!

hope you get a good litter out of it!! 

Stud fees were the same for both dogs??

Howdy,

I can only tell you how it works on this side of the pond ....... if you go to a stud and pay the agreed stud fee, the pups are yours,period. If the stud owner wants a pup out of that breeding, you pay no stud fee, just as simple as that. If the breeding did not take, you are entitelt for a re-breeding at no cost. If the female does not take the second time you are out of luck, no refund, no rebreeding. (Neverless most stud owners will give you a third try at less cost). But that can be difficult sometimes if you choose a very busy stud.

Once again, DKiah hits it right on ...... the litter whelped are my pups, and if i want to keep one, i will have the first choice, absolutly no doubt about that, unless you agreed upfront to something different to beginn with.

Did i get that right, you choose a stud, payed for service, your female didi not take, had annother stud and payed again and on top of this hassle the stud owner wants first pick ? I guess one can try, but i know for sure i would have a good laugh on him.

Anyways, aperently your bitch carrys and hopefully delivers a good, healthy litter and i wish a lot of fun & pleasure with it. Regards Ulli Dresbach

Sign the papers and don't repeat the breeding.
