We reserve the right to refuse breeding to any bitch.

Prior to shipping semen or accepting the bitch we must receive the following:

AKC Registration Certificate
OFA Certification
CERF Certification or CERF Exam
CNM Certification if available
EIC Clearance
Pedigree, as many generations back as is available
Non-refundable deposit and the transportation fee if applicable (see below)
Signed and dated breeding contract

The following must be sent with the bitch (Natural breedings only):

Health Certificate, with Letter of Acclimation, dated immediately before shipping (if 10 days elapse since exam at time of return, bitch would require second certificate at breeder's expense);
Written evidence of current immunizations (Rabies, 5-way, Bordatella)
Feeding requirements (amount, time of day, dry or wet)

A word about progresterone testing: Progesterone testing determines the optimum breeding time and helps to ensure maximum litter size. We highly recommend progesterone testing to ensure the breeding is done at the optimum time. Progesterone tests should begin on the 5th day of the cycle and continue every other day until a level of 2.0 is achived. This may require two or three tests. The only way to identify this date in advance is with progesterone testing. If you would like the bitch to be bred on a date different from the optimum, it is your responsibility to inform us of this prior to shipping her. However, we believe that foregoing progesterone testing is a mistake that may result in smaller litters.
