Hi,
I am wondering what kinds of splits or burdens or responsibilities you use in breeding loan agreements.
At first it would seem a 50/50 split would seem good if you introduce one animal to another between two owners. But upon further consideration, the recipient keeper has the burden of caring for the donor's animal, so wouldn't that warrant a higher take of offspring?
And the effort and toil to incubate should be rewarded with a higher than half split.
I also take into account that without a 50/50 split, most people might not be willing to risk their animal going to another keeper, without regard to the other keeper's husbandry skills or integrity.
So,
1) what have you done, and under what scenario, in terms of did you receive or get the loaner animal?
2) what health care was required in terms of "in case a vet is needed" were discussed before hand? What did happen in case that was not discussed before hand?
3) was some sort of quarantine period employed?
4) what was the split in terms of each participant getting offspring, of $$?
5) what time period was agreed upon at the outset, one season, five years, sorta forever?
I am not asking what species or actual $$ amount, that seems personal. I am interested to know what may be a customary expectation for the responsibilities and burdens for the donor or recipient, and how where the positive results distributed, either $$ or percent offspring.
Will
