The stallion mounts it, and there is a collection sleeve that the sperm is collected in. For horses, it can go $800 or $900 up to 75k for racehorses.... ~Christina~ Sally the Pibble Mix Jack the Lab "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest- Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

Reply Contact Yes, I've read A Man in Full the horse proceedure is explained in detail.  But I didn't know a dog would do that.   I would agree with this:   I would suspect it's worthless.  A reputable breeder wouldn't want it, and a non-reputable breeder wouldn't pay for it.

  RE: Sperm Sample Price? Reply Contact I had a horse AI'd and it cost $1,200.00 for the shipment, then I had vet bills to make sure the mare was in heat and a follicle was ready.  All in all it was probably about $2,000.00 total.  Stallions are trained to use a dummy, by starting with a mare in heat and when he "gets excited" they encourage him to mount the dummy and use a sleeve that imitates a horses vagina and hence collection occurs.  It is then frozen or cooled and shipped out immediately and the vet inseminates the mare upon arrival of the semen.  They do the same for cattle.  I don't see an ethical issue here as long as the Stud is worthy of breeding and the bitches he is breeding is also worthy.  I imagine using artificial means for dogs would amount to the same thing.

  RE: Sperm Sample Price? Reply Contact collecting a dog sounds alot easier than a horse.  There is no vault thing.  You may need to have a teaser in the vicinity but this is not required either, it just makes things go faster.   Usually all it requires is a rubber glove, the male, a clean-catch baggie and three minutes of your time.  It's not nearly as technical as one might think, but just as gross.[]

  RE: Sperm Sample Price? Reply Contact One of my bitch's half brothers has done very well in the show ring.  He's a finished champion and has sired some wonderful puppies.  His stud fee is $800.00.  I don't know if this is for an AI (aritificial insemnination) or the "old fashioned" way.  Our breed is American Staffordshire terriers, a breed that while not rare, is not as common as Labs, German Shepherds, etc. I only can tell you that dogs who have proven themselves in the show ring or in the fields as working dogs command higher fees than those who are just pets and haven't done anything to prove they are superb specimens of their breeds. I believe that the more common the breed is, the less you would get for a so-so specimen's fee. Also, dogs who have superlative bloodlines will command more than one who has no or few champions in his pedigree.

  RE: Sperm Sample Price? Reply Contact We have 2 breeding stallions at the barn where I keep my mare and there is a dummy mare that they use to collect the stallions during breeding time.  The stallion owner has frozen mare pee on a cloth, she just holds that in front of the stallion's nose in his stall and he is ready to go!![] She then leads him out to the dummy and he does his thing, it only takes about 2 minutes if that.  They pretty much know the drill.  Actually for TB racehorses, you cannot do AI (at least if you want to be registered with the Jockey Club and race).  All TB racehorses have to be conceived via live cover i.e. the "old fashioned way" [] As far as dogs go, I would think the stud fee would be relavent to what that particuar stud dog has accomplished.  Personally if I had a bitch to breed I would not spend big bucks to breed to a "nobody".  If I was shelling out a lot of money I would want that dog to be as close to perfect as possible. -Ivette If your dog doesn't like someone you probably shouldn't either. - Unknown

Reply Contact This may be a silly question since I know zip about breeding, but if a dog had NOT been proven in the show ring or proven as a working dog, been health tested, etc. etc., why in the world would anyone want his sperm??

  RE: Sperm Sample Price? Reply Contact Yeah--I'm not sure she was the best choice for a broodmare (she's not my horse). When you feed she attacks (I mean lounging with teeth bared and making very loud contact with) the walls of her stall--a bit of a loose canon. Interestingly enough, her filly seems to be the most even tempered of the three yealings we have--maybe it was her daddy IDK if you are familiar with warmbloods at all, but his name is Winter Prinz). ~Christina~ Sally the Pibble Mix Jack the Lab "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest- Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

  RE: Sperm Sample Price? Reply Contact  SillySally- I have not heard of Winter Prinz, but I am not that into the breeding thing, just got a crash course over the last 2 years when I moved to my current barn which has 2 stallions standing at stud.  One is a warmblood (oldenburg), the other a TB who is also an approved oldenburg stallion.  Here is their website [linkhttp://www.enavantstud.com/index.html]http://www.enavantstud.com/index.html[/link]  But I would agree with you that breeding to a mare like you describe is probably not the smartest move made by the owners.  We have a few sibling horses at the barn who are about 5-6 years old and share the same mare and you can definitely tell who their mother is!! Hopefully the filly at your barn will not inherit too much of mom's temperament.  Mares can be quite opinionated as it is!! My mare is a TB off the track and she was was bred before I got her.  If I ever was to breed her, which I doubt I would...(I need a yearling like a hole in the head), I would definitely go the AI route.  Less stressful for all involved I think.  -Ivette If your dog doesn't like someone you probably shouldn't either. - Unknown
