Hi Donelda, 

Most stud dog owners do not charge anything additional to the stud fee for the
board of the visiting bitch.

I think it is an honorable and noble intention that you plan on imporving the
breed.  Many of us are interested in this and would invite you to share with
us what specifically you are working on that needs improving.  Tell us about
the stud dog you think will help you accompolish this improvement.  What do
you see as the major problems of the breed today?  Are your bitch and stud dog
clear of dysplasia, dwarfism, sub-luxed patella's, osteocondritis desicans,
entropian,  and other genetically based problems?  Do you know of any of these
problems in your or your potential stud dogs background?  If you do not know,
you need to ask as it will be important to know of these problems in order to
improve the breed.  Who are the dominent ancestors (gene contributors) for
your bitch and the stud dog you will be using.  Are there specific things you
are attempting to correct?  Many of us have interest in your breeding.  Could
you share the pedigree of your dog and the stud dog as well?   Share with us
what you hope the combination of genes from the Sire and Dam will do to effect
the improvement.

Thanks for sharing this information with us.  We look forward to the
information you can supply and if you have any more questions, please let us
know.

Best of Luck

Joe
