Breeding Terms:
Stud Fee: Grand Champions $1200, Champions $1000
The stud fee and stud contract, along with all bitch information and clearances, is
due prior to breeding. Registration papers will not be signed without stud service
and all vet expenses are paid in full.
All breedings are guaranteed to produce a litter. A litter shall be considered a
litter, if at least two live (2) puppies are whelped. If the bitch fails to produce a
litter, one rebreed will be given within12 months. If the original stud is no longer
available for service, the bitch owner may choose any other stud dog, with an
equal stud fee, owned by Union Hill Labs. If the original bitch is no longer
available to fulfill the breeding, another bitch may be substituted. There will be no
refunds of stud fees.
The owner of the bitch will be responsible for any expenses pertaining to shipping
dogs or chilled semen. These expenses include extenders, shipping kits, FedEx
charges, Airline Counter to Counter, and shuttle service to the airport. These
expenses are payable at the time of the breeding. The owner of the bitch will
arrange for cooled semen shipping kits to be sent to Union Hill Labs prior
to the breeding time. Bitch owner will reimburse Union Hill Labs for any extenders
that we provide. At the time of breeding, Union Hill Labs will provide the
bitch owner with: a four generation pedigree of stud dog, copies of all health
clearances to date, and a current Brucellosis screening. Before breeding takes
place, bitch owner will provide Union Hill Labs with the same information and
paperwork of the above listed.
Accurate timing is the most critical factor in the success of breeding via shipped
semen. Bitch owner is responsible for all testing done to the bitch prior to and
during breeding to assure the proper timing of said breeding. All breeding will be
done by artificial insemination. Bitch owner is responsible for the cost of said
process if stud dog is not available for fresh collection. Please contact a good
reproduction veterinarian for progesterone level testing. There will be no
guarantee to produce a litter if progesterone levels are not provided.
After a litter is whelped, breeder will send a completed AKC Litter Registration
Form to Union Hill Labs for signature of the Owner of the Sire portion of the form.
Union Hill Labs will then forward forms on to the AKC. If you prefer, a fast
and easy way to complete a Litter Registration is online from the AKC Web site.
No puppies resulting from the breeding may be sold to brokers, pets shops, puppy
mills, shall be used to produce cross breeds, such as, but not limited to
Labradoodles, Silver Labradors or be used in puppy auctions. Should this part of
the contract be ignored, the stud dog owner will pursue this clause in a court of
law in place of residence of stud dog. Bitch owner will be responsible for five
times the stud fee, if any puppies resulting from this litter are determined to be
in such situations. Further, stud dog owner requires that puppies sired by a
Union Hill Labs stud dog, not be sold outside the United States unless expressed
permission is given in writing by the same.
It is suggested that the owner of the bitch create their own FedEx account. It is
very simple to do and facilitates shipping. I agree to the above written contract and
agree to abide by all sections listed.
