WHAT DOES SELECTING A "WORRYWORT" STUD DOG DO FOR YOU???
Besides knowing that you are using some of the best bloodlines in the world, our males are extensively health tested and titled.
Our home is located near Detroit Metro Airport. If you need to ship your female to us for breeding, we will pick her up and board her for a nominal fee in our home. She will receive the very best of care and be supervised when outside. We do have several reproduction specialists in the area that can ship cooled semen and frozen semen if that is a viable option for you instead of shipping your female.
FEMALE SHEPHERD REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO BREEDING:
We do require that ALL females be brucellosis tested that heat cycle.
We also require that ALL females be progesterone tested to determine optimal breeding time.
Shepherds must have passing OFA hips (excellent, good) and passing OFA elbows. If she has a passing OFA hip fair grading, she must also be PennHIP in the top 50% of shepherds. Copies of OFA and PennHIP reports MUST be provided.
Additionally, she must be tested with the OFA DM (or DDC) suseptibility marker gene test (test available through OFA or DDC) AND the OFA MDR1 gene test (test availble through Healthgene or Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology Lab). For the gene tests, I will also accept if cleared by parentage. Since both my males are normal on both the OFA DM gene test and the OFA MDR1 gene test, I will breed to non-normal females since no affected or at-risk puppies will be produce in the breedings.
FEMALE BASENJI REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO BREEDING:
We do require that ALL females be brucellosis tested that heat cycle.
We also require that ALL females be progesterone tested to determine optimal breeding time.
Basenjis must have passing OFA hips (excellent, good) and passing CERF exam and have been tested with the OFA Fanconi marker gene test. For the gene test, I will also accept if cleared by parentage. Since both my males are normal by parentage on the OFA Fanconi marker gene test, I will breed to non-normal females with Indeterminate or Carrier status.
Sorry, I do not do stud service for dogs with only OFA prelims. Please get your dogs re-xray'd properly for certification!
