Requirements:In order to use Mr. Darcy for stud service, the female must be a
purebred Yorkshire Terrier with a note from the vet that she is healthy, tick and flea free and up to date on her shots. In addition to this she must have a
Brucella test done through Dr. Hunt of Homestead Animal Clinic here in Mesa, AZ. The test is $56.35 and is essential for ensuring that your female does not have
Brucella, which can render Darcy
permanently infertile in addition to causing your female to abort her pups. This test must be done before breeding, unless the test has already been performed less 2 months before. Once these requirements are out of the way, all that's left is the contract which confirms the date of services, payment method and refund policy.
Fees:We currently charge $550 as a stud fee which must be paid in cash at the first breeding. If the breeding doesn't take, you may be refunded $450 (less the cost of time and boarding/travel)
or the fee can be put on account for the next breeding of the same or different female who has met the above requirements. Or, you can pay by method of allowing us to take first pick of the litter (this method is only available with proof that the female is
AKC registered).
