A Breeders Journal, By Lorna & the INCREDIBLE Dobermanns...
For those of you who think breeding is easy, and a way to make money, I thought it would be interesting to post from start to finish about breeding a bitch. It might be interesting to know what the breeder goes through too as we care for our female while the next 9 weeks pass.
As many of you know, we decided to breed Diva to ZZZZZaron. Diva started her heat cycle (bleeding) on July 11th. We started progesterone testing on that day. Progesterone testing varies, but for me working at a place with our own vet clinic, I get everything at cost. In this case, $30.00 per test. The initial test, I have a full blood panel run with it - liver, thyroid, brucella, etc., so the first one is $60.00. We tested every day until it started to rise last Wednesday and then also started the LH test kits. $40. each time and we did 3. Diva peaked which means that she started ovulating on Thursday. At this point, we are up to $360.00 and of course that does not include all of her health testing to make sure she is fit to breed, like VWD, cardio, hips & elbows, etc. Add another $940. for that - total $1300.00.
So on Friday, I head up to Oregon. I got a late start so ended up staying in Redding overnight. As I was leaving Redding the next morning, just getting on the on ramp for I-5, I hear a pop, and there goes my rear tire. I call our roadside assistance and they come out and put the spare on for me, which of course, has never been used and is much bigger than the remaining tires. The guy tells me that I need to go buy the correct size tire immediately. When I get to the tire place, I find out I need 4 new tires as they all need to match! I'm not even to the stud dog yet and so far, I have a hotel room, gas, and 4 new tires. Add another $1200.00!
Now I get to Oregon and have a hotel room there and need to pay the stud fee - $1500.00. We breed Diva starting Saturday and finish on Monday morning. Bonnie is kind enough to take me out to dinner one night and grill steaks for us the next so that cuts down on some of my food costs. BTW, Bonnie is the nicest lady on earth and I really enjoyed spending time with her and her fabulous dogs! She let me exercise all of mine at her place daily so they were not spending time in a cramped motel room.
With stud fee, 3 more tanks of gas to get home, food, and 2 more hotel nights, we spend $2200.00 while there.
Total for testing, the trip and breeding - $4700.00!
Now we wait 30 days and will do an ultrasound to see if the breeding took. I will add posts as we travel through the next (hopefully) 9 weeks to whelping. For now we are home safe and sound and will be waiting anxiously to see if this was all worth it!
