STUD SERVICE POLICY

You must notify us on the first day of your bitch's season. 

She must be FULLY AKC registered, be of sound structure and temperament, free of disqualfying faults; clean, healthy, free of parasites and in season.

You must provide a 4 generation pedigree and copy of AKC papers.

You must provide proof of a clear brucellosis test and normal vaginal culture (BC/VC) from the evaluating laboratory, prior to mating.

You must pay the stud fee at the time of mating.

We will provide a 5 generation pedigree on the stud dog.

The stud fee is for servicing the bitch with a fertile stud dog. It is not a guarantee that the mating will produce a viable litter and no other promises or guarantees are made or implied.

The introduction of semen from the penis into the vagina of the female constitutes a mating regardless if  it's an inside or outside tie or by Artificial Insemination (AI's will only be done with the bitch owners full knowledge and consent).  

We are not responsible for the ovulation (or not) of your bitch or for knowing if she is free of physical obstructions or genetic abnormalities which may interfere with or reduce her ability to conceive.  It is the bitch owners responsiblity to have a complete reproductive check up of the female done PRIOR to attempted matings.

To the best of our knowledge our male is fertile at the time of mating, is in good health, free of disqualifying faults and is FULLY AKC registered.    If your female does not conceive yet our male produces litters with other females within weeks prior to and after your service that is proof the male is FERTILE.

You agree to keep the bitch confined to ensure no other dog can mate her accidentally before her season is finished.

If your bitch fails to conceive, and you notify us within 10 days of the estimated due date of the litter, we will offer a courtesy service at no charge on her NEXT season if the same criteria for notification and testing as the original service are met.

The birth of at least one puppy constitutes a litter.  However, if only one puppy results, a return service will be provided on her NEXT season, or within one year of the orginal breeding, provided all the other conditions of the agreement are met.

You agree that no offspring resulting from the mating shall be transferred to a dog dealer, pet shop, puppy mill or agent of either.  Puppies sold or given to companion homesshall be placed on AKC limited registration (non-breeding).   Buyers/adopters of puppies on full registration shall be required to sign a written agreement that they in turn will not transfer said puppies or their offspring to a pet shop, dealer, puppy mill or agent of either.

The bitch owner is responsible for any and all expenses related to the stud service, including but not limited to transportation and delivery to the stud owner, any and all vet expenses incurred while the bitch is in the care of the stud owner.   A $15 per day fee for boarding will be charged for each day the bitch is left in the stud owner's custody once her owner has been given notification that she's ready for pickup.  Such expenses must be paid in full before the AKC litter application will be signed by the stud owner.
