Do you have any idea what the general cost of AI would be if I had to go that route? |

My Peppy is between 3.25 and 3.5 lbs. He never ties and is a pain in the butt to breed because I have to help. He has produced 4 beautiful litters of pups. Good luck to you - if you have been "trying" with your stud, I would not expose the females to another male. |
I talked to my vet about A.I. a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly it was going to cost about $250. Normally they use the surgical procedure because it is more successful, but then you have the risk of putting one to sleep. I am just resolved to the fact that if I use Peppy, it will be a frustrating breeding that will result in beautiful pups.... is it worth it -- YOU BETCHA it is |
I know one show breeder that AIs her dogs herself all the time and has good luck. You just have to research how to do it. You can get an AI kit I think from Revival. I would like to learn more about how to do it but I want someone to show me first that has experience doing it. If you have a good relationship with your vet then you might talk to him about it. I really don't think an AI breeding would have any effects on the number, size or health of the pups. If the AI is done properly you should get the same results as a regular breeding. |

Take the female out of the house for a few hours then bring her back and put them in the pen. You might have to do this a couple times. Never let them be together unless they are breeding. I wouldn't even let them see each other if it is possible. Make him want it more. My male will only mate on the 14th-16th day. It makes me crazy because I am so afriad he will miss it. |
