Should I ask more in breeding when I have the female?
I know about stud fees and pick of the litter options, but in this case, my neighbor has approached my husband and I to breed our Boxer. This is my dogs 3rd heat cycle,she is healthy,up to date on shots and all, they received their dog by trade, have supposedly taken him to vet and stuff but are not even sure of his actual age/registration. I do want to breed my dog at least once and while my original plans have fallen through, this seems to be another option,but when I questioned what they wanted, they said half. Am I wrong to think I deserve more $$. I have to provide feed, money,vet bills, shelter and care,while their dog "has a really good time",no commitment or real investment. I think I deserve and have so much more to loose by only accepting half.Is there additional bartering or reasonable ways to be fair?

You'd be better off finding a male for stud service BEFORE your ***** is in heat. Then you can take your time to evaluate the stud's temperament, possibly see pics of previous offspring, etc. Breeding a pair of dogs is a little more complicated than simply exposing the two dogs to each other. Your dog is supposed to be taken to the male (not the other way around); a male will be more confident and perform better on his own turf. The owner of the male also needs to monitor the pair during their breeding attempts; successful attempts end in the pair being "tied". An owner who's had experience in breeding their dog knows to watch the pair after they tie so they don't injure one another. You'd also want to see a tie at least 3 times to help ensure conception and a better rate of conception. This should all take place over a period of several days (meaning the stud owner has your dog at his place for a few days). A dog that's never been used for stud can have trouble figuring out what's expected of him and your ***** could also refuse to stand for him. So the stud owner has a little more work and responsibility than you think.
That being said, a typical stud fee is the amount you'd get for one puppy. What will you do if you only get one that survives? You also need to keep in mind that boxers, since they have the foreshortened face, often require a Cesarean to deliver their litter, which is very expensive.

Solution: Don't breed your dog.
You have not had genetic tests run on her, and god knows what about the other mysterious dog. Neither Boxer is breeding material. If you breed them, you will be getting some puppies not really worth much monetary value. If you really want to waste your money and risk her life just to have your own litter of puppies go for it. I just hope you are not fooled into believing you can profit off this. Sounds like you care a lot about money...
