This is how much I know
The female dog is ready for mating usually between the 9th and 14th days from the onset of the heat period. Conception has its best chance between the 11th and 14th days (this is all after the discharge from the female vulva is finished)
The stud fee is a fee the owner of a female dog pays to the owner of the male dog for a 'tie'.
They tend to leave the female dog when she is on heat with the stud owner for a couple of days.
Normally they attempt the mating twice and if they do not take, then the stud services are provided in the next season for a free mating. But that is as far as it goes, it doesn't matter if she conceives or not.
Usually the stud fees for an 'unproven' male is much lower than that of a 'proven' male who has already helped produce puppies.
Sometimes payment for stud services is substituted for a puppy, usually a "pick-of-the-litter" but I haven't heard of a ring being used as a payment... that is odd
The other thing is that 'breeding' should be used to help improve the chihuahua breed and to ideally produce good healthy pups that are close to the standard rather than just for money.
I also agree with others here that she must be able to afford taking care of the pups so she needs to think about costs. A lot of chihuahuas need c-sections which cost quite a bit and I should have thought that if she has bigger pups it would increase the risk of her not being able to give birth naturally without harm.
hope this helps
