Been there, done that. I think most of us have had this happen. I can't even remember how many times, but yes, there is an awful lot of money going down the drain trying to get a bitch pregnant. The money you eventually make on selling puppies is just to brake even after losing stud fees, shipping, spending time and money traveling, etc., etc. I personally do not rely on the progesterone tests much anymore. If it's a good stud, he knows!
