A young queen of mine went to stud recently but she is now in call again, two weeks later. The mating was not witnessed even though the breeder had been recommended as one who does witness matings. The breeder had promised a second attempt at the mating in case it did not work. However, having tried to call at different times during the past two and a half days, the telephone is not answered. What can you advise?
a) just chalk it down to experience and go for another mating with a different stud? (another stud fee and test, more petrol money ...)
b) my preferred option - write to the breeder and let her know that I am worried about her as she lives alone and it could be that she is unwell or even sillier, just lost the phone under a pile of cat bedding?
c) keep trying to phone?
