English Labrador Retriever Stud Services
Option One
Upfront Stud Fee
The Stud Fee for Santy Smoky MTN Moose is $2000.00. This fee does include collection kits. We use the very best in collection kits. Each kit costs an additional $50.00 per shipment. Moose’s Stud fee comes with the guarantees of two live puppies. If you have no puppies as a result from the initial breeding (this only applies to Stud Fees paid in advance), then we offer a repeat breeding to any stud dog owned by Smoky Mtn. Labradors. You will have 3 years to use that repeat.
Note: Repeat Breedings CANNOT be sold to other breeders.
Option Two
Service Fee
We do offer a Service Fee. The Service Fee is $500.00 and does not include the Collection Kits. The Service Fee is only considered as a deposit towards the stud fee, and is a non-refundable fee. The remaining balance of $1500.00 ($500.00 Minus the Stud Fee of $2000.00 = $1500.00 DUE) is due within 3 days upon the birth of 2 or more live puppies.
NOTE: If you have no puppies as a result from the service breeding option, a repeat is not offered, and the service fee is non-refundable.
First Time Breeders
If your female has never been bred, we highly recommend progesterone testing. Today, we have state of the art progesterone testing available to us to target and ensure peak fertility in your female that you are wanting to get bred. Many people fail to realize that you cannot rely to breed on the traditional day 10-14 of your female (heat) cycle and expect to get a litter of puppies! Through extensive research in recent years and the ability to do progesterone testing to target ovulation, we have found some to ovulate as early as day 8, and others ovulate as late as day 29! If you choose to not do the proper testing, we have seen almost half of the breedings fail to produce a litter. Progesterone testing will also ensure you also get large litters.
