My daughter has huskies would like to know how to go about studing. them.when the dog goes to the bitch does she get stud fee at the time or does she receive stud fee when it is confirmed the bitch is in pup thanks:)
 
With the current climate and the over-abundance of huskies I would hope they are of good lines/have all current health tests/are either proven workers or have collected show gradings to prove they are excellent examples of the breed :)
 
Sibes are fast becoming the next status dog and are being bred in worrisome numbers. The breed rescues are overrun, SHWA has a waiting list of dogs to come in and has done constantly for the past five years; these are just the dogs voluntarily given up by their owners, thousands more end up passed around via the free ads.

They do not make good household pets and the working community will not buy a backyard bred dog, they will want to see evidence of health tests (hip score and a battery of eye tests - glaucoma, hereditary cataracts, corneal dystrophy etc. - these can be symptomless in the parent but devastating if they manifest in the next generation) and either proof of working ability or show results.

SHCGB run several eye clinics every year where you can find out about these conditions and have your dogs tested. They are also a great port of call for advice about sibes in general and their breeding. SHWA as mentioned above will also give great free advice to anyone, though as a welfare organisation they will be very anti-breeding.

If the dog is unregistered, hasn't had any of the above tests and doesn't work then please, please ask her to reconsider her decision. And lop his balls off! :o
 
She should also register with the tax man and atleast take an interest in where those pups end up, esp the ones that end up in the local rescues or pound.

I agree with all the above advice as to why your daughter should not use her dog at stud. However to answer your question, the first or proving mating is usually free, and then once the dog has sired a litter of pups a stud fee may be charged for future litters, this generally is payable at the time of mating, and a free return offered if the bitch does not conceive.
