In case of a male dog I would reserve a set amount of stud services to be agreed upon at the time of purchase. The dog would be held in a co-ownership until the obligation would be fulfilled at which time I would sign off of the co-ownership. The dog may then be spayed or neutered, if desired. Would you be interested in a situation such as this?
