How much do I charge for Australian Cattle dog stud service?


I have a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog (blue heeler). He just contributed to the first and only littler with my other blue heeler. When I was selling the puppies, a man asked me how much I would charge for stud service. I had never considered doing that before. What is the average stud service price for Australian Cattle Dogs?

to ULCRM:
I don't appreciate YOUR vulgar and condescending remarks. I love animals and am NOT a "backyard breeder." In case you didn't read... THIS IS A 1 AND ONLY LITTER. You don't know where I live and don't know what I'm about. Don't dump your convictions on me, I have my own. I hope that not all "professional breeders" (as you like to call yourself) and others of the like are as prejudice and judgmental as you.

You seem to really love both of your dogs, so I am urging you to reconsider what you are thinking of doing. First, your accidental litter was caused by you not getting your dogs fixed when you got them. Pets really don't need to remain intact, and if you have a male and female, it is the best thing to do.
Australian Cattle dogs are one of the hardest breeds to raise and train. They can be very aggressive and are not usually good with children. Because of this, many ACDs are dying in kill shelters every year. People turn them in because they cannot control them and often feel threatened by the dog.
These dogs were bred to do a job, and not allowing them to do this is a sure way to make an unhappy ACD.
ACD rescue groups get tons of calls from owners who can't wait to get these dogs out of their homes. Many have bitten people in the family, or are completely out of control from lack of real training. These groups spend quite a lot of time rehabilitating the dogs, and some of them can't be saved.
I know that ACD puppies are adorable, and the adults are striking-looking, but please consider what might happen to the puppies you help bring into the world.
If you are wondering where I am coming from with this, I am the owner of a beautiful rescued female Blue Heeler who was beaten, abused, starved and let loose on the streets to live before she was a year old. I rescued her from a kill shelter where she had 15 days left to live.
Her rehabilitation has been long and hard, and a different owner may have had her put down for her fear biting and aggression to small children. There just aren't enough people out there who really understand this breed.
Please reconsider what you are thinking of here, and don't bring any of these dogs into the world without being able to give them a home where they can do what they were bred for.

Depends what shows ahs he done> What are his parents, greandparents, g grand parents ects back ground? What s his OFA scores?



ADD: So then answer my questions. What OFA tests have you done? What dog shows have you done?

You don't have a clue about breeding lady. You are obviously a backyard breeder.

Just to let you know, people like you (BYB's) are the biggest contributor to the overpopulation of dogs.

I know you don't know (probably don't care) about all the dogs being put down because of too many dogs and not enough homes. Yet you have the nerve to bring another litter of ill-bred dogs into the world. Why don't you just stop, get your dogs spayed/neutered and let your dog be a pet.

Stop using her and him as money making machines.

The only reason to breed is for the betterment of the breed and I'm SURE your not doing that.
