Knight's Red Rusty MH "Rusty"

 

Golden Retriever Rusty is a stud dog and 2010 Master National Qualifier.

Knight's Red Rusty MH, “Rusty” is one of my favorite stud dogs, if not my favorite stud dog. He is an excellent marker, and a great up-land bird dog. Rusty excels at the Hunt Test game. Additionally, he is a great dog just to hang out with in the duck blind. When Rusty is in competition, I always get complements. Rusty is a Master Hunter and has qualified for the 2007, 2008, and 2010 Master National.  In October of 2010 Rusty ran his first Master National in Corning, California and qualified with some of the best marks I saw from any dog there!  Most recently Rusty qualified for the 2011 Master National.

 

Rusty is a very nice looking Golden Retriever. He is dark red in color and weighs about 65 pounds. Rusty has all his clearances: OFA Hip, OFA Elbow, OFA Cardiac and yearly Eye Clearance.

 

Over the years Rusty has sired many litters of puppies. Most of his puppies are family pets but some have been very successful in Hunt Test competition.

 

Rusty’s has a very nice pedigree.  His sire is AFC Cayman's Rumpoint Red "Snapper" who lived to the ripe old age of 15. Rusty’s dam, is Boogie's Jazzmine of Charlton MH, "Jazz" was one of the first Golden Retriever females to earn a Master Hunter title in the Pacific Northwest.

Natural Breeding Stud Fee for breeding to Knight's Red Rusty is $800. $200 is nonrefundable and due at the time of breeding. The remaining balance is due when the AKC litter registration is sent for signature. Stud fee will be reduced to $200 a puppy if less than four puppies result in a litter. If no puppies result from the breeding, stud fee is $200. Copies of AKC registration, Pedigree, Hip/Elbow OFA or PennHip, Eye clearance, heart clearance and negative Brucellosis test within two months of breeding. Two to three tries will be attempted. I recommend working with your veterinarian regarding progesterone testing for optimum time for breeding. This is usually day 11 through 14. All local veterinary costs are the responsibility of the owner. No costs will be incurred without permission unless it is an emergency. There are no boarding charges for the first 7 days. Starting day 8, boarding charge is $20 per day.

Rusty’s frozen semen is collected and stored at Cool Bred Canine Reproduction Services LLC (CBC) in Estacada, Or.  Frozen semen breeding costs for owners of bitches are: $30 tank rental ($9.00/day starting on day 8), $50 retrieval fee, and shipping (average charge is $100-$175).
