Ok Folks , I have a question for those of you that may have done this before. I received a phone call on our local club's phone line today asking me if I knew what the "going rate" was for leasing a bitch to be used for breeding.Since I have never personally done this I was unable to answer this question. I was told that they want something that is already OFA certified both hips and elbows from a good bloodline. Good Temperament is a must and they want something that is an easy whelper. They also requested what is the Normal criteria for leasing a bitch. Since I have never leased a bitch for breeding I told them I would try to find out from those that are more experienced in this . Where better place to find out this type of information than the LIST. Any information would be deeply appreciated so that I can let these folks know as they have a breeding coming from a stud dog and the bitch they were going to breed to it had to be spade.They have apparently located a couple of possible prospects but were wondering what the price might be for leasing a quality bitch. Thank you in advance for any information you can give me so that I can let these folks know and I can put info in my files as well. I try my best to help all that call our phone line and usually I have the answer but this one I didn't know. Sincerely, Barbara E. Gambill-St. Louis, Mo.
