I think I've mentioned that I've always had bitches....sweet happy girls that had sweet happy litters? Well, learning about stud dogs is a WHOLE different world. Got a call today, We want your male (see, no advertising lol), the bitch ovulated TODAY and we need the chilled semen by tomorrow, then next day at the latest! Hawaii, no less! Well, Hawaii wasn't going to happen THIS time, (6 months in the future now), but what an interesting and different experience this is turning out to be. Going to meet the collection vet this week, learning how to do all this. See, even after 12 years in the breed, finishing dogs, having great litters, and still, we are but babes in the woods.
