STUD DETAILS
Based in Devon EX24
The stud service includes two supervised matings spaced approximately 24-48 hours apart for optimal timing.
Should your bitch not conceive, we gladly offer a complimentary repeat service during her next season. Payment is due following the first successful tie.
For select breeding partnerships, we're open to discussing the possibility of receiving a puppy from the litter instead of the standard stud fee - this can be arranged prior to breeding depending on anticipated litter size and breeding objectives.
For any inquiries or to discuss breeding plans, please contact us directly via phone or email.
Thank you in advance!
