She is 5 1/2 months old not in season and stood for her grandfather the other day. Little mare!!! Some quick reactions and shouting meant nothing happened but she is a dirty thing.

I have seen pups from an AI litter and they are exceptional.. The breeder put a huge amount of thought and work into the litter and they have all done her proud..

It isn't very common (not over here anyway, it is common in the States) but I am rather glad the option exists (I wouldn't have my little lad otherwise
).Couldn't agree more Lou
Who is saying you can not get good health and temperament from an AI mating?
Yes and there are certain procedures you need to adhere to before the KC will register the litter. They are very strict about the surgical AI.
No i was saying that my stance may well be explained by the fact that i am not that keen on breeding for type. I'm sure you can get the same results from AI but personally it's not what i would choose for a dog of mine.....but then i won't ever be breeding from any of my pets.
