So many studmasters these days are looking for big bucks which is why they prefer to sell FS and the vets are even happier taking your money doing FSI.
The days of honest genuine studmasters willing to do natural/ai services seems to have gone...

Agree 100% Lily!!! However I'm just about to go through the process of having my Bitch inseminated with FS, studmasters have you bent over the barrel sometimes, its either FS or sorry we can't help!! If you ask me the Vets are the BIG winners, they charge the studmasters to "milk" the sire and then store the Gear and then the breeder to inseminate the bitch!!
Coops I tend to agree with Lily and Nick about your decision to breed with your bitch, however as I think I have previously stated on this Forum the best two greyhounds I have been associated with, one was out of a non-chaser who never made the track( she won a SYD cup) and the other was out of a snail who won 1 race ( she won 18 races inc a Meadows FFA) so sometimes ability can skip a genaration as both mothers were out of solid race winning damlines. If you have the ability and $ to rear the litter well and give them every possible chance to reach their potential then why not? But as a commercial venture it may be a disaster as pointed out as you might get stuck with more pups than you bargained for and suddenly your resources become stretched and the pups don't get the required care!
In summary if your prepared to keep the lot go to Bush Legend, if you want to sell some go to the best Dog you can afford! This all just MY opinion.
PS Lily and Coops since when has this site become a PICK-UP or Lonely Hearts site???
