You are definitely not alone. Most of the people who talk to us about using our boys are the same. Most of them don't like the idea of their bitch going on a brief run of Baytril either. However, I always ask the same question of all of them. "How many of you have had a stud dog pull up sterile on you after siring litters? No known disease or injury, no signs of illness, simply no known reason?" The few people that I know who have had a stud dog become sterile are more than happy to comply with our request for Baytril or AIs. They are in fact, requiring the same for their boys. The ones who have never lost a much loved boy from their breeding program due to sterility still prefer the old fashioned way. It just depends on where you are and where you have been. Myra Savant
