If price you are willing to pay determines the male you breed to then it in most cases any ol male will do. If you are following a breeding program, looking for a specific outcross then - the price is determined by how much you want it. $300 seems to be the normal for a decorated male. But once you calculate the fee, the travel, time off work, over night stays, etc. the price of $500 just down the road may not really be high. It just boils down to what you want and how bad you want it.

well i know the stud fee on bob kings fc is only 100 dollars and he is getting a lot of breedings due to this. so a lot of pups and dogs of of his studs being trialed. and blazer is producing at least what we are seeing in mi.

Most stud fees in my area are anywhere from $150.00 to $300.00. If I had hunted over the stud dog before and was impressed with him and if I have seen other pups off of him run and was impressed with what he was throwing, then i would pay the $500.00, breed to my best female, and keep all the pups and start them, then keep what I like. Well bred pups around here go for 200.00 to $300.00 so if 2 ended up making the cut, you would still get your money's worth. I have a friend who just bought an English Mastiff puppy that is 10 weeks old and he paid $1000.00 for it and it aint gonna do nothing except lay around and eat 50 lbs of dog food a week and take huge dumps in his yard. I wouldnt pay 1 dollar for that dog but to each his own. You would think a good rabbit dog would be worth more than a Mastiff, at least you can use a rabbit dog for something. It just dont make sense to me.
