no puppies no fee, and unless you are a trained breeder you probably should not be breesing the animal when their is enouf animals at the local shelter for people to adopt, do you dog the favor and get her nutered she'll be happy that you did.

It varies. Really, you should have a contract that deals with this sort of thing. If you are breeding dogs as a business, you should treat it as such and outline these details in a contract.
However, generally no. No puppies tends to equal no stud fee, or at least, a drastically reduced one. Most breeding associations say that if no puppies survive past the first few days of life, no stud fee is owed. Some money might go the owner of the stud if they boarded and fed the female during breeding, or to cover any vet bills that they the stud owner paid. Similarly, many breeders refund at least some of the stud fee, or provide another session of breeding at no cost to the owner of the female.
The good business practice is that you are owed no stud fee, or a much smaller fee just to cover your boarding and your time.
