A lady in my dog club has collies and has been trying to breed a couple of her bitches. She's done AI, surgical implant, swabs, x-rays, blood tests, you name it and used different stud dogs. The breedings just don't take. She smokes heavily and the dogs are in the house most of the time or outside some. Does anyone have any info or statistics on the affect this causes in breeding dogs? Thanks. LuAnn Kennedy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
