stud Duffy has proved he can sire a litter..you said the death of the pups was not the studs fault, correct? Then two bitches were in at the same time...I would not use the same male with two clients in the same week to insure the best results..
I did stud service for over 20 years. I guaranteed 2 to 3 breedings. If there was no conception, then a return was given. One puppy constitutes a litter IMO...the bitch determines the number of pups, so why blame the stud? His sperm count should be checked from time to time to insure clients a sound stud for the money.
Duffy's owner can remedy this question in a very simple manner..get a sperm count...then there is no guessing. |
