Re: open stud contract
I believe the 'standard' is one free return (with the girl's owner paying a nominal amount for the extra board) in the event of one or no live kitten being born. And the stud owners I've spoken go on a 'if she hurts him that's my problem, if he hurt her that's yours' sorta basis.

Re: open stud contract
I guess it's all pretty much common sense really for most things.
The only really contentious point is if the Queen gets loose. I'm guessing if she doesn't return then maybe a suitable kitten as replacement? Has anyone experienced this? I know when I got one of my girls the man I got her from had a Queen visiting one of his studs and she got loose but I never found out what happened with that.

Re: open stud contract
No it certainly shouldn't happen. Then again, IMO anyone who does not microchip their cats is taking a risk, you can always think they won't escape but it only takes a moment, one mistake - one of my kittens jumped out of the first floor bathroom window in the summer, aged 13 weeks. How much more do you need to take precautions of you are taking your cat somewhere strange to stud?
As a practical answer to the question though, a queen in full call ought to be easy enough to catch, she'll pose outside the stud house and all you have to do is pick her up - unless she is terribly nervous. You just have to hope the local moggy doesn't catch her before you do otherwise you would have some serious explaining to do  Liz

Re: open stud contract
Its all part of the problem of finding a suitable stud. They not only have to have the right ped, have a great temperament etc, but also owned by someone you would trust and kept in appropriate conditions. I think its a huge responsibility taking care of other peoples queens and it shouldn't be taken lightly.

Re: open stud contract
Yes - and they have to actually have their stud on open stud too. Apparently with some breeds it's really difficult, to the extent that the norm for Persians seems to be to buy in one of each sex if you want to breed. That seems very odd to those of us with shorter haired and less laid-back cats, doesn't it!

Re: open stud contract
I think the possibilty of it being the boy's fault if a queen fails to get pregnant is almost zero. It is almost always due to some sort of infection in the queen. Of course many queen owners won't know this
