There are a lot of things to consider when adding to the breeding program, much of that decision will have nothing to do with the picture, his parents and grandparents, brothers and sisters etc. are very important to the decision. Does he have weaknesses that your females also have? How's his temperament etc.?

Are your thinking of buying this puppy or saving him back?

i agree with cc it is more than just a picture but you also wan a stacked picture of him to see leg's top line his ear's up are they to big

hope this help's

I wish I could help, but there is not way anyoen can give a professional opinion of a puppy from one tiny snap shot..pedigree is vital to a breeding program...as others have posted there is just too much not seen to give an opinion..sorry.

As others have said, there is a lot to be considered when adding a breeder to your program BUT if looks were the only thing I had to go, then I would say no. Just my opinion tho as I am very hard to please and he would not suit me at all. One thing about these little guys tho. You just never know how they are going to mature out.

The first thought that came to my mind with this post is that he is 3 lbs.....how old is he (he looks still pretty young in the picture) ...... how much bigger will he get? It's better to keep the breeding males on the smaller side, isn't it?

I agree that it's very hard to tell from a picture. The truth is if I can't put him in the ring than I wouldn't breed him. My first impression was that his face isn't well balanced, his muzzle seems a bit long. It could be the angle of the camera but that's what I see. The question is do you have a firm picture in your mind of the type of dogs that you want to produce and is this little fellow going to be able to accomplish that goal? His pedigree, temperment and health back ground are of utmost importance as is his comformation.

Am I the only one to notice his coloring? He appears to be chocolate. I was under the impression that coloring would eliminate him from many breeder's program.

There does appear to be warm tones in his blue but his nose appears to be black. It could just be the lighting in the picture, don't know. If he does have warm tones instead of cool in his blue I definitely wouldn't include him in my breeding program.

I really don't believe a smaller dog is better for a breeding program .

mscat · 07-14-2008, 08:41 PM

I am not a professional, However, to me, he looks like a puppy? His mature coat has not even come in yet... , I'd think that it is too soon to even think about breeding such a young dog.
