The 2 options for paying the stud fee are: Option1 - the full stud fee ($1200.00 CAD) as a lump sum accompanies the bitch when she arrives for service or prior to first fresh chilled semen collection. Option 2 - $700.00 CAD accompanies the bitch when she arrives for service or prior to first fresh chilled semen collection, and $600.00 CAD is payable at signing of Litter Registration after birth of litter. An option must be selected before bitch is accepted. I select Option 1 ( ), or Option 2 ( ). AI's (if required) will be performed by stud owners at no charge. If a veterinary AI is requested a credit card # must be supplied to our veterinarian to cover the requested services. All costs incurred by stud owners, including but not limited to, shipping/shipping-related, veterinary, or excess boarding charges are payable before the bitch is returned home or picked up.
8) Board for seven days is included in the stud's fee. Stays beyond that incur a $10.00 CAD/day charge.

If more than two collections are required an additional $75.00 CAD per our round trip will be charged to cover our gasoline and time off work. We are not responsible for lost or mishandled samples, regardless of how caused. It is the responsibility of the bitch owner to investigate and decide upon Fed Ex or alternate delivery service availability in the receiving area and decide on feasibility/risk prior to collection and to instruct the collection clinic on shipping preferences.
