Natural Breeding Arrangements: Stud fee
for breeding to Hacker is $800 (1/2009). $200 is nonrefundable
and due at the time of breeding. The remaining balance is
due when the AKC litter registration is sent for signature.
Stud fee will be reduced to $200/pup if less than four pups
result in a litter. Copies of AKC registration, Pedigree,
Hip OFA or Penn Hip, Eye CERF or clearance, and negative
Brucellosis test within two months of breeding are
required prior to breeding. Two to three ties will
be attempted. It is essential that females be up to date
on all typical shots (rabies, kennel cough, distemper, etc.)
for their protection as well as all dogs at the kennel. No
boarding fee will be charged for seven days. Starting day
eight, boarding charge will be $20/day. We recommend working
with your veterinarian regarding progesterone testing for
optimum time for breeding. This is usually day 11 through
14. All local veterinary costs are the responsibility of
the owner. No costs will be incurred without permission unless
it is an emergency.
Frozen Semen Breeding Arrangements: Stud
fee for breeding to Hacker is $800 which is due prior to
semen shipment. Stud fee will be reduced to $200/pup if less
than four pups result in a litter. If no pups result from
the breeding, stud fee will be reduced to $200. Copies of
AKC registration, Pedigree, Eye CERF or clearance, and Hip
OFA or Penn Hip are required prior to breeding. Hacker's
frozen semen is collected and stored at the International
Canine Semen Bank (ICSB) in Portland, OR. ICSB's research
in canine reproduction and semen cryopreservation began in
1971 and is still ongoing. ICSB has produced a live litter
of puppies with semen frozen for 30 years. Frozen semen breeding
costs for owners of bitches are: $30 tank rental ($9.00/day
starting on day 8), $50 retrieval fee, and shipping (average
charge is $100-$175). For standard shipping fees, ICSB needs
to be notified within three working days prior to shipment.
Additional charges result if ICSB is notified in less than
three working days. Contact ICSB at 503-663-7031 as these
prices are subject to change.
