If you are requiring 1 pup, or half of the litter to breed to your stud then no you are not the breeder, you offered your stud's service for the amount of pups agreed upon or a stud fee.

But if you partner up on a breeding and you both see to those individuals throughout their lives into maturity I think you both should be recognized as the breeder.

Here are the exact details as to the breeding that I listed with two breeders.

My buddy has a bitch, he wanted to breed to something on our yard. We've had a few sour deals in the past with him, he's grown we've grown from the experiences. Anyhow the only way we let him do the breeding was under the condition his bitch came here to be evaluated. We fed her till she came in, bred her, whelped the litter, weaned them and picked our first pup then in turn until they were all spoken for. It was a agreed none of those dogs would leave each of our hands.

So his idea, we both came to the agreement which stud under our recommendation, we cared for the bitch and whelped the litter.

His idea, he's the breeder or we are the breeder because we did the dirty work?

Just FYI I registered the litter with ADBA and credited both as the breeder, as I believe that is the only right way to do so, we both deserve the credit. No reason to cut one or the other out because of uniformity of digital data. If we collaborate on other future breedings they would all be batched accordingly.

Jack your place your rules I'll make the necessary note to credit the additional party.

Thanks for the imputed guys,
