Surrogate Dams. Is this going to be a "new age" concept in breeding??
The AKC is going to allow on a one-time basis, to register a litter produced using a surrogate dam..under certain conditions.
The request involved a future Portuguese Water Dog litter, produced from eggs harvested from a now spayed bitch using a surrogate dam of the same breed.
The conditions involve DNA testing and other things. I know "cow people" have been doing this for years. Using what they call "scrub" cows to incubate the offspring of superior specimens.
Does this mean that in the future when you have a Specials bitch that is doing some great winning, that you don't have to take a time out for a litter?? Just take some of her eggs, fertilize.. and implant into her lesser award winning sister?? Far Out.
A question..can a spay bitch still produce eggs??
