Stud Service Agreement

_____________________

How do I know my female is ready to breed?

The Dam will need to be brought to JKKJ Farms during her estrus cycle when the eggs are being released from the ovaries. This phase starts approximately 9 days after the proestrus cycle. During this phase progesterone levels start rising and she will accept her mate. Once you start seeing blood drops on the floor and her vulva swelling up, count roughly 7-10 days and that should be the start of the breeding window.

The said Dam will need to remain with the Sire on the farm for 3-5 days. During this time JKKJ Farms will provide clean housing, food, water, exercise, assist with breeding if needed, document breeding, and any emergency vet care needed.

How do I know my dog is bred?

The normal gestation period in dogs is approximately 63 days from date of conception, although this can vary by several days. Pregnancy can be confirmed by your Vet via:
•pregnancy test >30 days
•ultrasound 25-35 days
•physical exam/palpitations 21-35 days
•X-ray 42-55 days

If the Vet confirms that said Dam is NOT pregnant, then she can return to the farm during her next heat cycle for rebreeding at no additional cost to the Dam’s owner. If this is the case a written/typed note from the Vet and their information must be presented to JKKJ Farms.

Does my Dam need to have brucellosis testing to use a JKKJ Farms stud?

All Females must have Brucellosis testing and genetic health testing done prior to breeding unless they have never been bred. Brucellosis testing may be waved by JKKJ Farms if Dam appears to be in good health and shows no signs of STD’s.
