Have any of you ever leased a female to breed one or two litters out of? If so was it a good experience or not?

I have done leases on two occasions.....Both times went very well....However both people who leased them to me were close friends of mine....From my experiences, I would tell anyone to seriously consider leasing......JMO

From a business standpoint, logistically, it sounds like a good idea. From an ethical standpoint (and no, I'm not saying it's "wrong"), to me, it sounds kind of icky....passing a dog back and forth, borrowing a dog, leasing a dog like you rent a car...just to get a few litters out of her.

Hmmmmmm, don't know that I personally would do that except in a situation with friends were involved and the dog was comfortable with them. Otherwise, I think that has the potential to be pretty stressful for the bitch, especially if you're swapping homes on her near whelping time. Some bitches may not do too well with that.

I leased one of my female's , but she stayed home with me, the person that leased her had to pay for all the food and medicine for the litter, and owed me $$ in the end. It was a good experiance because I got to raise the litter and still be in control of her care. They got the puppies out of there male they wanted with fresh blood to be able to keep. It worked for us.

It is a dog goofball. Not a child or a girl, it is a dog.

I think that anyone considering leasing a bitch should contact former New York Governor, Eliot Spitzer, prior to doing so. He may have some insight as to the pros and cons! (pun intended)

Goofball (Jeffy), read the whole post. I'm fully aware it's a dog. READ THE SECOND HALF FOR MY REASON FOR MY STATEMENT.

NO! DON"T! STOP!

ok, go ahead, please do,

Ever wonder why men are confused ?

Then you would know the bitch is junk. A good bitch should not care.

Can I lease your bitch ?? AAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa

That sounds dirty to me.

Uh, yes Jenni, My GF and I would like to lease your bitch for a while. Can you knock the dust off of it and send it ?? : P

I totally agree and would never breed a bitch like that. However, most people do and make excuses for them acting squirrelly for far less valid reasons than that, so I thought it was a valid thing to bring up.

I will say that some "civil" bitches may not like to be near total strangers when whelping and could be a little dangerous to well-meaning "caretakers." Just ask my dad about that.

I would not lease my bitch to anyone ever, I'm way too much of a control freak. I don't think I am very confusing, Jeffy. Not to you or to men.

I would have to agree that leasing to someone you KNOW is an important part of the deal. I have leased bitches to other breeders I knew... but my bitches weren't bred all that often. even my foundation bitch and her sister only had a few litters. I leased Gemini to a close friend who had a Male I greatly admired as I wasn't planning on breeding her for more than a year... I told her all I wanted was pick male from the litter.. Gem came home fat and sassy with her #1son "Wizard".

I'd have concerns leasing to someone living @ some distance from me... or whose home/kennel I wasn't familiar with. I want to know the way my dog will be cared for and live. I would also want some comfort that the pups would be raised right, and buyers would be properly screened. Again it all goes with knowing who the person that's leasing her is.

I don't feel that it's valid to say "They leased the bitch, and should be able to do what they want with a breeding and/or sale of her puppies"... I once purchased an entire litter from someone who used my male @ stud to prevent them from being sold to a Pet Store Chain... I care about where the kids go and as my dog's progeny they do reflect back on me.
