STUD FEE AND BREEDING PROTOCOL |
|
|
|
Stud Fee |
|
|
$800 or the price of the most expensive puppy, which ever is greater. Natural breeding, chilled semen or frozen semen available. Prior to a chilled or frozen shipment a nonrefundable deposit of $200 is due with the signed contract and is credited toward the stud fee (see Breeding Contract and Pedigree for Cuda’s Blue Ryder). Balance of the stud fee is due no later than 30 days following whelping. A litter consists of three or more puppies with a reduction of $200 per puppy from the stud fee for litters less than three. We reserve the right to select a puppy from the litter in lieu of the stud fee. |

Prerequisites |
|
|
A pedigree of your bitch, OFA and CERF certifications, a signed “Stud and Breeding Contract” and prepaid costs must be received prior to shipment of semen or natural breeding. Natural breeding requires a current brucellosis test and word from your vet that your dog is free from vaginal infection. |

Breeding Procedures |
|
|
Natural Breeding: Common practice calls for the bitch to be shipped eight or nine days into the heat cycle to allow for breeding during the ninth to fourteenth day. To greatly enhance the possibility of a successful breeding we recommend that your vet perform a quantitative progesterone test through a lab. Following scientific procedures in addition to traditional methods will provide specific dates of ovulation. A minimum of two successful breedings will be attempted. Our facilities include indoor/outdoor kennels, fenced airing yard and ponds. Your dog will be exercised. After five days a boarding fee of $25 per day will be charged. A round trip pick-up and delivery fee for the Sacramento Airport (SMF) is $100. Chilled Semen Breeding: A nonrefundable deposit of $200 (applied to stud fee) is required to be paid to SilverCreek Kennels prior to a chilled semen shipment. The bitch owner will pay directly to the collecting facility the cost of collection, analysis and preparation of the semen, the shipping kit and delivery to FedEx. These services usually cost about $125 and shipping averages $38 per shipment. We will put you in contact with the semen collecting facility. Frozen Semen Breeding: (One frozen semen shipment per stud fee) A nonrefundable deposit of $200 (applied to stud fee) is required to be paid to SilverCreek Kennels prior to a frozen semen shipment. All expenses associated with semen retrieval, tank rental, shipping of frozen semen and return of shipping container are the responsibility of the owner of the bitch being bred (approximately $280). These expenses are to be prepaid to the storage facility. It is the bitch owner’s responsibility to make shipping arrangements to their veterinarian from the storage facility. We will put you in contact with the semen storage facility. |

The Importance of Selecting Your Veterinarian |
|
|
Although all vets receive a modicum of training in the reproductive field, this is certainly the time to use an expert. Frozen and chilled semen breeding requires advance planning and great attention to detail. Many parties will be involved. Successful results depend upon coordination, correct information, communication and timing. All litters are an expensive undertaking in terms of money, commitment and emotion. We require that the vet you select for chilled or frozen semen be a reproductive specialist with a current active practice. Your chances for a healthy, happy and economically sound experience are vastly improved. |
