steppenwolfstaffords

i have a dog that has just been diagnosed with a slightly enlarged prostate. never had one before first option was an injection which would have made him temp sterile and this wasnt an option for me at the time as i pan to use him soon and he is co owned and i would hate for him to end up infertile as the vet said there was a very very very very small chance he would be infertile for life. so ivr chosen plan b which is 9 days of anti inflamatories .... end of consult should there have been more tests to find out WHY his prostate is slightly enlarged ?? it look for infection or cancer? he didnt seem overly concerned said slightly large etc and said options and that was it. thanks in advance

i think its just how its done now, there is one free change on microchip ownership for the new puppy buyers tho

Thanks for that, i dont see how frozen would thaw if in a proper canister?? I understand that problems can arise using road. chilled semen im under the understanding can last/live for up to 7 days ??? thanks

Hi finding it Hard to find specific information in a search so asking (probably for the millionth time) Who would you suggest to transport semen from Vic to SA Can anyone give me prices on what you have paid Sires on Ice i have is $210 Ive heard road transport (GTE ETC) Can be about $100 ??? Thanks:)

i did email a repro vet my question and they replied with 2nd heat for first litter was best....im only looking for the information to give to someone else as it was being discussed. i mated my first stafford on her 2nd heat and she coped very well. thanks

Staffords can be mated after 12 months old

I read recently that some repro vets recommend the best mating time for first time mothers is on their 2nd head (after 12 months of course) but for the life of me i cant find this information again .....Can anyone enlighten me about this ??? i understand that everyone has thier own opinions on breeding ages and so forth but i was wondering if anyone can help me regarding my question ?? thanks

Im sure this has been done to death but i cant find any information im after. Shot of ringing vets and transport companies etc....can any one please tell me from experience the average/rough price it costs to have a Dog Collected for fresh transport. From any state into SA Thanks in Advance

Sires on Ice inform me that 100MM per breeding Unit is all that is required and how they freeze thier lots.

Thank you very much for all that Info :). greatly appreciated.

I was wondering if anyone can help me regards to Frozen Semen what is a good Sperm Count per ml for a frozen breeding ? I have been told that 150-200 Million is needed for a frozen semem breeding but i have found online that only 100mil is really required. anyone have this information that they could share with me. thanks in Advance Carmen

Dont use Sires on Ice ! Terrible communication .

Here they are (small girl on the left big girl on the right) although they are pretty well the same size now :p One Week Old Today

Thank you Ptolomy :) i tried to add a pic but the file i had was too large. I am doing picks tomorrow as they are 1 week old so will post a more update shot then :)

Our Babies arrived on the 3rd Via C Section 2 girls :)

thank you for the info :)

Thank you every one for your PMs i have taken all the info on board to help me make my decisions on vets to use thanks Carmen

Just wondering who has used Blakes Crossing for thier breeding needs (ai prog tesing ultrasounds and c sections?) and would share thier experiences either here or PM Thanks

thank you for youre responce ...i just didnt understand how so many said AIs had a deffinately due date while lives can vary cos end of the day prog testing is just a guide too and not 100% precise.

Hopefully me :) 4th July - Staffordshire Bull Terriers

I agree even if maybe one of the ones up north opened a clinic in the city where they would come down one or twice a week :p

thanks for the answers, i already use both the vets at lewiston and was just wondering if there was anyone closer anyone would recommened in Adelaide itself.

Hi i know a lot of people recommend going to Adelaide Plains or Noahs Crossing (and i would nomrally use them but a fair drive) so was wondering if there is there any ADELAIDE vets they would recommend for breeding needs .. prog testing AI ultrasounds etc ?

What about people who have had pregnant bitches that have given NO signs what so ever up up until they are clearly showing ??

Ah i see makes sense, thanks
