  2. Stud owner must have safe, secure housing facilities (e.g. concrete pad with 6 ft. chain-link fence, topped with roof cover, and wire crate) for the bitch during her visit to the Stud. If such facilities are not available at the Stud owner’s home, arrangements should be made with a local veterinarian for boarding, at Stud owner’s expense. If possible, the breedings can then be conducted at the vet clinic/hospital, again, at the Stud owner’s expense.

Any genetic or pre-disposed tendencies (e.g. bloat) will be the responsibility of both parties.

  5. If the first insemination does not take, the Stud owner will furnish additional sperm for a second breeding at no charge. Costs incurred for AI kits, collection, etc. by both parties will remain the same.
  6. Stud owner must send additional semen for third AI, providing that the breeding Bitch has had a clear reproductive exam. Additional arrangements may also be considered if the Stud and Bitch are not producing together.

    to the Breeder as liquidated damages. Further, the Breeder shall have the right to repossess said Dog. If the
