Stud Service

All of our stud dogs are proven and at stud to approved females.
​

Requirements:
Proof of Brucellosis test is required within 30 days prior to stud service for live cover. Full AKC registration required. Hip, Elbow, Eye and Heart Health clearances required.
Cytology and culture strongly encouraged to confirm fertility. Frequent progesterone testing is strongly encouraged however at least one is required for Live Cover to ensure that timing is correct. Must be on some form of Flea/Tick prevention and parasite free for Live Cover. Must have sound & stable temperament. Must be clean with up to date grooming. The breeder is responsible to keep the stud owner up to date on progesterone numbers, breeding dates and arrange reproductive veterinarian visits whenever necessary. All pet puppies are to be sold on limited registration only. Promising show/performance/breeding prospects or puppies kept back for the breeder’s program may be fully registered but must be hip, elbow, eye, heart health tested prior to breeding. The breeder warrants that they will throughly screen all interested applicants responsibly and only place the puppies into the best loving homes possible. The breeder warrants NOT to sell or give any puppies to commercial breeders, puppy brokers, puppy mills, pet stores, irresponsible breeders, surrendered to rescues or shelters, etc. Stud contract is enforced with consequences. When inquiring; please send a k9data link to pedigree or photo(s) of AKC paperwork, a link or copies of health clearances, brucellosis test status(pending or negative) and 2 photos of your girl.

Stud fee Payment:
Stud fees are subject to change at any time, please contact us to confirm. The stud fee is due at/just before first live breeding or before first collection. Up to 2 matings or collections included. Zelle, Cash(in person) or AppleCash/ApplePay are acceptable forms of payment. We do not accept card directly, money orders or personal checks.
We may consider pick of litter depending on the pairing and pedigree regardless of location as we will cover transportation costs for puppy.

Breeding:
Live Cover may be available, contact for details. Collections for TCI/AI(Side by Side, Chilled Shipped and Frozen) are available. Female may visit or may board with stud for up to 4 nights for Live cover, depending on owner's preference and availability. Boarding is charged at an affordable nightly rate. We can meet at a local vet for the breeding whenever necessary. We have repro vet referrals, if needed. Typically 24-48 hours in between collections or breedings is recommended to allow for some sperm regeneration.
As a complimentary no-charge service, in-house collection and insemination may be available when progesterone numbers are correct.
​

Collections, Payment and Shipping:
Each vet collection (including analysis and packaging) is approximately $250-275 on overage but can go up to $400 depending on the vet and teaser availability. We will travel up to 20 miles total to a local clinic at no cost to the bitch owner. A gas fee will be charged and must be paid prior to traveling, if we must travel to another vet/fertility clinic if there is no availability elsewhere. Typically a weekend fee is charged by the vet if a shipment is needed on a Monday. Overnight Shipping via FedEx is anywhere from $160+ per shipment.. depending on location, delivery time and the day of shipping. Quotes will be given ahead of time. The female owner is responsible for all breeding costs and can pay with either: a payment made before the collection and we will give a refund immediately if any funds are left over(we could also apply it to the second collection) OR bitch owner can call the vet/fertility clinic to place a card on file for charges. Some clinics handle shipping while other’s may not so a payment may need to be sent to us for the shipping. Timing and communication is very important especially when shipping. The female owner must keep us updated on progesterone numbers and the estimated time of insemination. Shipment will not be sent without all payments made in full. Semen analysis details will be shared with female owner. Tracking details/receipt will be sent once confirmed. Frozen is offered at an additional cost, a deposit will be charged by our vet for the shipping container rental and must be returned for the refund.
