No you are not crazy!

In my country for some breeds (and breed clubs) this is more common to ask But for CsW I did not hear this question before!

But before mating I always did test my females for such diseases (also CsW) , but did not ask this for males when it was not usual in club rules or the breed community

And for mating prices in my country:
Normally it is about the price of one puppy (although some breeders do ask more)
All sportive hobby breeders (in several breeds) in my country ask € 100 for each living pup with 2 weeks with a max of the puppy price! (so the risk is for female and male owner)
And for me this is a normal sportive and honest rule .

But there are also CsW owners in my country who ask the max price to pay with covering. When the female is empty, you can come back one time. When she is empty again you have bad luck….

But when Dutch female owners go to other countries for covering it is a much different story!! Even in CZ and SK sometimes huge prices are/were asked for females of abroad! Sometimes even after a female was covered the male owner did ask much more cash money than was agreed before

But…. I never did agree with (for me un sportive or strange) covering rules of breeders in CZ , SK and other countries (for female of my own or of others), and so I know only sportive and honest breeders who did cover females of West Europe
