I know this is going to vary for breeds, heritage but what is the average price of Stud fee for your breed of dog.

I was told that Shar-Pei's can be studded from £300 to £1000 usually on the higher scale, but I dont understand why.

Is it due to quality/conformation of the dog?
People being greedy for pet money?
The colour, Shar-Peis are regarded are 'rare colours' in Blue, Lilacs and Isabellas'?

I would love Chance to be a father so I could keep a puppy but it would be a lot of consideration on my part and if anyone wanted him, their are a lot of Stud Shar-Peis out there.

Prices vary in my breed. Mostly though its the cost of a pup or thereabouts, the dog itself and its pedigree, show wins etc......
Example Could get a pet quality Crestie stud( no health testing etc) for £100
Could get a Champion who has been bred to standard, health tested and still in ring for £600-£800
Or you could be friendly with people in your breed and get it for a lot less

Depends on the breed the general rule is the price of a puppy, but in one of my breeds they now charge a 'handling fee' and then so much per puppy born which in a large breed can work out quite expensive if you have a combination that produces a lot of pups. My boy quite often sires litters of 12 and 13 but I stick to the one off fee, with a less than 2 surviving pups free return.

i payed £300 for a champion ebt stud for my female..ontop of a few pre mate test wich they wanted me to do and a test to make sure there was no infection down below be4 the mating took place so all in all i payed just over £400, well worth it for a quality stud like himself.

Its the price of a pup in my own breed, but my boy has never been offered for public stud pups can sell for between £650 up to £1100 depending on lines

So how much the going rate to use a stud in ur breed????

Depending on the dog if I were to go out and find a stud I would be expecting to pay between £650 - £1100 although I've never known anyone pay the higher rate but I have occasionally heard of people being quoted it.

In DDB its £600 and up for studs

my friend paid £2000 for her Bulldog bitch,, i nearly fell through the floor when she said how much she cost.
she paid £400 stud fee when she bred her as he was unproven , but from good lines.

St B fees vary , mainly down to pet or shown, and champions, anything from £400 -£1200. this is the most i have heard about , average i think is £800.
