Hi!
This proposal sounds intriguing. I'm currently looking for a blue merle
stud for my BISS Ch Larimar's Stardust CD, CGC (BIS/BISS Ch Larimar's
Chip of the Old Block ROM*** x Ch Jill's Win-Chimes of Lil Mite ROM***).
What line is Jake from and what is his percentage/ratio for line breeding/inbreeding
coefficent? I apologize; but I'm not familiar with his call name.
I'll need to know Jake's CERF, OFA patella luxation, and OFA CHD certification
numbers, T3 & T4 test results, number of occurrences of hemivertebrae,
PDE, and cleft palate through the fifth generation. Just to be on the
safe side, I'll need a negative brucellosis and bordetella licensed veterinarian
certification from you. It's not a bad idea to get a VetGen phenotyping
either.
For the future get, I'll also need copies of Jake's titles and his AKC
and/or CKC registration number(s). I'm especially interested in copies
of his ASCA and AKC ROM and additional awards.
Since there's no stud fee involved, I assume you'll want pick? Dog or
bitch? Will you be willing to agree to half of the cost of a cesarean
section if the cause should arise? If the whelps are larger than 18 ounces
at parturition, it maybe necessary. This seems only fair. Last time I
got a good break and it was only $500, but unfortunately that vet retired
this year and the new owner has raised everything to almost double! It's
hard to find a good Aussie vet!
Will you be doing a natural or artificial breding? If artificial imsemination
is required, I’ll need you to send the frozen semen Overnight Express
Mail. I'll be willing to split the cost; $500 should cover it unless you
are on the east coast, then I'll send $750. Please let me know where to
send the check. I think it's only fair that you take care of the semen
analysis expense since I will be doing the whelping and training. You
should be able to find a Canine Semen Bank Collection/Storage in your
area. Be sure to get at least three vials. The last time I looked into
having it done, it was about $900.00—a lot less than before since
more and more people are doing it.
If Jake does a natural breeding, let me know which airport to ship my
bitch to (if you are out of Calfiornia). To take care of my dam, I'll
need to have an overnight or early, early morning delivery time. Since
it's getting warmer now, it's best to plan for you to pick her up after
midnight. Even with a cool down mat you never know with these brachceapholoids
( I probably misspelled that, but you know what I mean!). Be sure to take
MC/VISA or cash since the counter-to-counter service does not accept checks.
Let me know after they tie three times and then I will let you know the
return arrangements. She ovulates late, so she may be two or three weeks
at your house. I'll get her to you by the tenth day just to be sure we
don't miss it or she absorbs. Double check with your home owners insurance
plan to see that it covers visiting bitches in case anything should happen.
A BISS CH/CD/CGC bitch should be covered for a minimum of $5K.
Since her cycle is so late, you'll need to purchase Solid Gold dog food.
I can't send enough in the crate. It generally runs $40 a bag. Be sure
to get the Seameal, Pet Tabs Plus, Concept-A-Bitch, and Red Raspberry
Tea Leaves too. Also, she'll need 500 mg. of Ascorbic Acid, 200 mg. of
Tocopheryls twice a day with tepid water. Not too hot because she will
grow finicky. Be careful not to give her a palmitate since this can increase
the chance of cleft palate and I don't want to have to cull.
It's a good idea to give her organically grown, pesticide-free calf liver.
You'll need to prepare it yourself since she doesn't like pre-packaged
brands. It's best to buy it in 50 lb. bulk and boil it all at once. Be
sure to keep skimming the foam off every 15 minutes because she doesn't
like it slimy. Bake it afterwards until it's a good baiting consistency
then vacuum-pack and freeze it. The whole process should only take about
12 hours. In a hurry you could get it down to 10 hours.
You won't have to worry about splitting the vaccination costs for the
litter. I give my own now and that will save you half of the normal $480
or so. You can help out with the title rebates if you'd like. Your pick
should be ready at 12 weeks. I'll let you know the whelping date so that
you can plan the transportation. I assume you already own a airline shipping
kennel? That's the best way to go if you're out of California, otherwise
you can drive to pick it up--just bring along a Vari-Kennel.
What are your club affiliates? I don't recognize your email address off
the top of my head. I'm ASCA, AKC, PASA. If your not AKC, we can work
on getting you your two letters of recommendation.
Well, let me know when you have all the necessary paperwork done. Also,
please send me Jake's AKC certified 4-generation with coat colors and
his best win shots so that I can make colored copies, for the puppy owners.
Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you soon!
