Registered name "The Sun Also Rises"

I aquired K9 SAR dog "Pemberleys The
Son Also Rises" aka: Brett at 8 weeks old.
He is a driven and outstanding working
golden.

He is a quick study and a fast worker, yet
retains the ability to turn it "off" in the
house. He is social and friendly with all he
meets. If your looking for a great
companion with a willingness to learn and
love this is your guy.

How did you hear about us?
When would you like the stud service?
How long have you been breeding?
What is your reason for breeding?
If your dog free from inherited defects?
What are your future plans for your female? (Do you want to show him or her, etc.)
Remember that raising a litter will take up most of his or her time and attention, as
well as yours
Will your lifestyle allow for a litter? Will there be someone home all the time?
Do you work long hours?
Do you have the proper facilities? Often this means setting aside a separate room
for the whelping area
Can you afford this? There are many expenses, including:

A. Medical care of the mother.
Prenatal veterinary visit.
Proper genetic tests (PRA, SES, etc.).
Brucellosis tests and vaginal culture (required by most stud dog
owners).
Postnatal veterinary visit.

B. Medical care of the puppies.
Dewclaw removal.
Inoculations and wormings.

C. Supplies.
Whelping box and heat lamps.
Puppy food and vitamins.
Cleanup supplies.
Whelping supplies (towels, scissors, hemostats, thermometer, iodine,
cotton balls, rubbing alcohol, disinfectant, blood clotter, etc.).

D. Other expenses.
Stud fee.
Advertising.
Lost salaries and sleep.
All this is assuming your female has a normal uneventful pregnancy and a healthy litter!  Sometimes they do not get
pregnant or they will reabsorb the litter or miscarry due to stress or other factors. Sometimes they have false pregnancies.
There may be complications, Cesarean sections, birth defects, sick puppies, or mom may become sick. The average litter
size is eight. This is not a guarantee.  So, as you can see, if done properly, breeding is not a money-making endeavor.
Are you prepared to deal with:

Complications, medical problems, added expenses?
Health care of the puppies--not all puppies survive. What if they become ill?
Health care of the mother--are you willing to risk his or her life? Sometimes complications do occur.
Screening potential puppy buyers to ensure good homes?
Unsold puppies--is there a ready market in your area? Usually not with your first litter--most people prefer to buy from an
established, experienced breeder.
A lifetime obligation to the puppies you sell?
Legal complications--contracts, guarantees, etc.?
Is your female a good representative of the breed? Remember that it takes more than just a pretty face! Should she
really be bred? Temperament, soundness, health and conformation are prime considerations. Have you studied up on
the breed? What is her pedigree? This is important breeding it is not just putting a male and female dog together, you
must know her background. This will give you an idea of what you will be producing in regard to size, temperament and
potential health problems as well as other considerations.

Before breeding you must:

Study up, know your breed and its problems.
Study your dogs, know their weaknesses and strong points and breed accordingly.
Test for potential problems (hips, brucellosis, etc.).
Do some pedigree research to know what is behind your dog.

Reasons for not breeding:

Overpopulation, difficulty in finding good homes.
Genetic considerations.
Expenses and complications, this is not a get-rich-quick scheme!
Responsibility to the breed and your dog. Only breed when you feel you can make an improvement to the breed.
Remember, your responsibility does not end when you sell those puppies--it lasts their lifetime.
The terms purebred and AKC do not guarantee quality, nor do they mean your dog should be bred. They only mean
both parents should be of the same breed.


If you still want to breed your dog and you feel you can meet the above criteria, then give us a call.
Remember--in breeding there are no shortcuts. If you are not prepared to do it properly--do not do it at all!
Questions or Comments:
Thank You for your application! We will be sure to get back to you
shortly. We will also provide you with references on your request.
We often deal with the term "unwanted pets." However, there should be no such term. Every puppy should be planned for and wanted, which
means the spaying and neutering of all animals not intended for breeding. Every dog should have a home where it is wanted and loved. This
means that owners have made every effort to keep their dog from roaming and to see that he or she is wearing ID tags. There is nothing worse
than the overpopulation in our animal shelters which results in the euthanasia of innocent animals, or the sight of an unwanted dog by the road
only because someone did not care enough! The terms pound seizure, laboratory research, pet overpopulation, cruelty and neglect come up all
too often in our vocabulary! Remember, these could be our dogs! These are some of the reasons we must be responsible breeders and dog
owners and think twice before we breed.

Breeding a litter of puppies is a responsibility not to be undertaken unless you have the time, energy, money, knowledge and facilities to do it right.
Puppies are not "playtoys"; they are living, feeling, intelligent beings. When you bring a litter of puppies into the world you must accept the
responsibility of caring for them properly and finding responsible homes for them.

If you bought your pet puppy from us, you signed an agreement to have him or her altered by the age of one year. We take our responsibility very
seriously and we do not want to see any of our furry "grandkids" at a shelter or alongside a road somewhere or even perhaps for sale in a pet
shop. Unless you have put many years into the study of the retriever should conform, you are probably not equipped with the knowledge that it
takes to be a breeder. Do you know the dogs in your pet's pedigree? Are you familiar with pedigree research? Have you a vast knowledge of the
genetics involved? Are you equipped to deal with prenatal and whelping complications? Are you willing to risk your dog's life?

Please do not breed your pet because you want a puppy just like him or her. Chances are you will not get one just like him or her, and it is far
easier and safer to just purchase a pup. In doing so you will not be bringing more puppies into this already crowded world. Also, keep in mind that
most people who "want one of his or her puppies" will actually change their minds once the puppies arrive.

If you are still interested in using our stud service please fill out the following form. Also fill out the contract and get it to us along with the other
paperwork as soon as possible. Thank you.
