Need breeding advice - 11/17/15 01:28 AM
Ok guys need your help. I have a big dilema on my hands. I have unsuccessfully tried to breed Suede (my female black lab in signature picture) twice now. Yes, the stud has litters on the ground so it's not him. This last try I took her to the vet for an ultrasound to check for puppies not only were there no pups the vet thinks she has a cyst on her ovarie preventing her from dropping an egg. The vet told me if I really want to breed her, which I REALLY want to do, we could try some sort of hormone therapy that would cost around $800 and would still be only a 50-50 chance on whether or not it would work.
Does anyone have any experience with this and any advice? It's killing me to think I might have to spay her before getting one of her pups, I really wanted to keep her lineage going. She's an outstanding dog and a real special retriever. She is 5 years old so I don't have a whole lot of time left to breed her. I will do what's best for her of course but just wanted to see if you guys had any advice.
Thanks
