Most reputable breeders have their own studs. Most reputable breeders will seek out a stud that will compliment their female and pretty much line breed their dogs. But yes, you're right.....a full health should be done.....eye & ears tested, shunt, x-ray of hips, legs should be preformed; actually OFA'd would be preferable. Heart checked as well as cleared from any STDs. Much more goes into it than is listed above.

| No problem, I think the saying goes 7-11...7 months before pups are registerable and 11yrs when you have to have a vet present during the mating....Not really sure about the 11, will check it out on the AKC website

Not to mention, once he is used as a stud he may prefer to mark his territory a lot! T. | |

Just because a male yorkie (they think) is small or that he AKC registered does not constitute using him for breeding. I am not saying this is what you (DogLover007) thought. Just that I have heard it before. There is so much more to breeding than that. T. Last edited by topknot; 10-12-2008 at 06:56 AM. | |

| Ramblings of a Stud Owner Well I personally stud Tino out. Which most of you have already seen postings and such about him be a daddy. You have to first and for most stud your dog for the RIGHT reasons. You DO NOT make money. Yes there is a fee but trust me you work for it. Unless the female and Male make it easy on you, which almost never happens. There is alot of things that you need to be able to stomach. Also you have to do your research on how the process works such as if they tie by themselves you have to know to jump in and hold the female and keep her calm, so that she does not hurt your male. You nweed to know what tests need to be done by your vet. You need to know how to "assist" if the female is inexperienced. You need to know how to "teach" your male to mount and never discourage this behavior. You have to be willing to change your dogs attitude completely. Your carpets will be stained. He will be uncontrolable around females in heat (not listening to you). and so on and so forth. If you would like to pick my brain about this we can PM. Before I got in this I knew my dedication to the breed and all of its benefits. I have turned bitch owners away becuase they didn't match Tino correctly or they were too small. There are many questions that need to be answered before you stud. Your starting early enough to do the research, becuase you shouldn't really stud your male until he is 1 1/2 to 2 years old. (maturity issues). He will not have the focus before then. Hope I wasn't just rambling. I will tell you the rewards of seeing those faces make everything worth it!!!! Thats what means the most to me! Oh and after 3 litters in a calendar year or 7 litters or more in a lifetime he has to be DNA tested from the AKC which runs you about 40 bucks to make him a FUS ( Frequently Used Sire) ok now Im rambling LOL. Just PM me if I missed anything. Which I most definately did.

| There is so much that needs to be considered before using a pet as stud. Most has already been mentioned. You must be prepared to have a STUD dog who will mark his territory, might become testerone aggressive and not a sweet little male pet who is house-trained and laid back. Bellybands will be his regular attire. He needs to have STD testing each time before he is studded out and the female MUST be STD free. The lineage and what it carries has to be researched for both dogs. You need at least a 5-7 gen pedigree and learn everything you can about size, structure,health and more. The nicest of pets do not necessarily make good solid parents. That does not make them less loved but we have to be objective in our assessments. The puppies produced are your responsibility as well as the female's owner so you have to step in if the puppies are being sold irresponsibly or for more breeding. God forbid, if your male's puppies end up producing in a puppy mill or such. As was said, there is very little, if any, profit in studding. Most responsible breeders will not use an unfamiliar stud without a lot of history about him. I have had many calls requesting and offering stud service in my years of breeding. NEVER take up an offer. I would suggest that you find a really learned mentor and make your decisions based upon their experience and knowledge til you are ready to breed. This is long and is not meant to be mean. If it sounds that way, I apologize in advance..... |

| No its fine.I want to find out everything i can beforehand of course.Should I get some books as well to start reading up on? I've had him checked for the kneecap thing...i dont know how you say it.I know he does not have that.I was already planning on geting him checked for STDs or any other diseases he could ever get.I am just curious about breeding in general..who pays for what? It does not matter to me. |
