Firelight Kennels Strikes Again - Page 2

That dog is getting into the age group where prostate problems are not uncommon.  Some other possible causes of the problem include hypothyroidism, auto-immune disease (I once had a young male who after siring a litter, was sterile two months later as a result of the sudden onset of a mild form of lupus), infections, etc.

I've known of a number of GSDs with prostate problems, whose sperm counts varied widely in results, going up and down like a seesaw. 

You may want to consider having semen collected and stored at a time when he is producing good quantities of viable sperm.

We have had tons of test done on him prior to this last collection and he has passed them all

"I recently purchased a Male from this kennel from a gal named BRANDY PETITJEAN to be a stud here at our kennel. Before I purchased him she sent me a copy of a semen evaluation which said his semen  was 85% motility. I went yesterday to do an AI at our vet only to find out his semen was dead. I take great care of my dogs, so for this to be a cause of my care for him is out of the question. Since purchasing him, her  Web Site and phone have disappeared. I going today to a repo specialist to see if I can get to the bottom of this. Also since purchasing him from her I was told by his first owner that she has had a fertility problem earlier before selling him to me. I feel that he was this way and she sold him knowing this.

I am the type of person that will not let this rest until either she makes good on our deal or she is sitting in jail for FRAUD"
