Thank you all for your advice. The owners of the female don't want to give back their baby, they love her, and I can understand that so I'm sure we will work something out dollar wise, but this is a mess, and one that I think all breeders that do not have their own stud must be concerned with. Just viewing the AKC registration paperwork is not enough to ensure that paying a stud fee guarantee a problem free registration of litter. I had an unaltered male to begin with in our home and he lifted his leg on every backpack and soccer bag that came into the house, anything that came from another house with a pet was a target, along with shoes. That is when I started using stud boys and only had my females. I definitely will do more homework next time. Please keep any advise or comments coming as I have learned a lot from this and I am sure others have as well. You all take care and thanks! |
