We take the management of our stud dogs very seriously.

It has long been our policy to offer our clients a free return mating at the next season if:

LESS THAN TWO LIVE PUPPIES ARE PRODUCED AND THE STUD DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE.

However, owners of breeding bitches should understand that a stud fee is paid for the actual service

(ie. the actual act of a stud dog mating a bitch) - not for the production of puppies.

Stud fees are required to be paid in full at the time of the mating.

We would rarely (if ever) entertain the concept of accepting a puppy in lieu of a stud fee. Nor would we enter into an agreement whereby a stud fee is witheld until pregnancy is confirmed unless very special circumstances arise. (Being broke or short of cash is not a very special circumstance) If a proven stud dog (a dog that has produced progeny / offspring) is used at stud by the owner of a bitch then it is also accepted that the dog is capable of fulfilling it's part in the mating. We guarantee that if two normal matings (be they slip matings, a tie mating or in fact artificial insemenation) have been undertaken then puppies will be produced. It is worth noting at this juncture that if a bitch fails to fall pregnant or has a very small litter when mated to a young, fit, proven stud dog then most often there is a problem with the bitch or with the timing of the mating.
