We have a "repro" vet in northern Virginia who volunteered to take the eggs from a young Cavalier bitch of mine who was going to have to be spayed due to a pyo...she was a maiden bitch, btw. He said he could put them into any of my other bitches and I could get puppies that would really be from the first bitch. Of course, you'd have to lie to the AKC, he said........ My regular vet and his buddies call that "repro" vet Dr. Frankenstein............he is pretty popular with some people. Here in the Richmond area we have Dr. Steven Escobar, who is a disciple of Hutch's...while not a certified repro specialist (or whatever you call it) he's pretty darn good...and he thinks Hutch pretty much walks on water.
