Breeding Information

The breeding fee is to be paid prior to receiving AKC litter papers. A litter consists of 3 or more puppies with a reduction of $100.00 per puppy for litters less than three. We reserve the right to choose a puppy from the litter in lieu of the breeding fee.

Out of pocket expenses will be pre-paid by bitch's owner and are non-refundable:

• Boarding is $10.00 per day.
• Handler's fee of $50.00 for breeding.
• Any additional cost, i.e. vet bills, are responsibility of owner and are due at the time service is rendered.
• For the protection of both dogs and the Labrador Retriever as a breed the following is required before breeding: OFA and Cerf certificates, a current brucellosis test and word from your vet that your dog is free of vaginal infection.

Suggestions for an Optimum Breeding Experience:

Common practice calls for the bitch to be shipped eight days into the heat cycle to allow for breeding during the ninth to the fourteenth day. Several steps can be taken to greatly enhance the possibility of a successful breeding following scientific procedures in addition to traditional methods. A vet can perform tests that are reliable and very specific in identifying dates of ovulation. You may want to consult your vet regarding a vaginal cytology and, or, an ICG progesterone assay.

Buyer will be responsible for paying all boarding costs.
