| The picture didn't load for me so I can't see him. The first thing I would do is take him to a show and have him evaluated. Study his pedigree and know the lines that he came from. Talk to the breeder's of those lines to find out the health history. If he has more than 3 faults or a history of health problems within his line I would not breed him. Make sure that he is worthy of being bred first, do not add to the problems that are already plaguing our breed. Research the personality changes that occur once a male has stood at stud. The goal is to keep the breed strong and true to standard, if your boy won't help achieve this than I wouldn't breed him.

| These I feel ought to be done on every adult dog before being bred: A very careful and thorough physical exam by vet Complete Blood Panel Bile Acid Test Brucellosis Test (every time before breeding) And these are the Health certifications available. It's very impressive to me when a breeder goes further than the basic health testing I mentioned above and gets their dogs certified for any of these things. If I ever decide to show and breed, I'd probably look into most of these for my dogs. Patella and hips cleared & certified by OFA OFA: Patellar Luxation OFA: Patellar Luxation OFA: Hip Dysplasia OFA: Hip Dysplasia OFA: Legg-Calve-Perthes OFA: Legg-Calve-Perthes Eyes checked & cleared & certified by CERF CERF - Canine Eye Registration Foundation CERF - Canine Eye Registration Foundation Heart checked & cleared & certified by OFA OFA: Cardiac Congenital Disease OFA: Cardiac Congenital Disease Thyroid checked & cleared & certified by OFA OFA: Thyroid OFA: Thyroid Ears checked & cleared & certified by OFA OFA: Deafness OFA: Deafness (personally, I think this probably isn't needed for our breed..) You also want to do research into the pedigrees of the male and female to check for any genetic defects/diseases to identify if the dogs could be a carrier or not.

| I would never breed any dog with an underbite, slight or not. This is a major genetic fault and is passed on to the puppies. JMO |
