Unfortunately it appears a huge portion of breeding loan situations end up with the person holding the animals doing something shady/unscrupulous at some point of the deal. Whether it is keeping the majority of the litter for unethical reasons (I have seen this happen with the adults being in excess of $12,000.00 in value each) or injuring/killing the other persons breeding animal due to neglect/poor husbandry practices. So going by that, breeding loans unless you are willing to risk your animals health/life are a bad idea.



But to answer your question, if I was stuck in a situation such as this I would imagine the pay off time would be equivelant of the length of time it would take for the pair to have bred, and the female to produce offspring. (so about 3-5 months)
