| Stud for Hire well everyone.....I know I don't post much but the time has come. Bentley is over a year old and ready to be studed out. Bentley is ACA registered. He has been checked by the vet and I have signed documents stating that he is healthy. He weighs around 5 lbs. I haven't weighed him in the past month or so. If anyone is interested in using him please let me or Kelz know via PM. Kelly's computer has more pictures and she is asleep right now so if you would like to see any pictures of Bentley just ask her. I am located in the Oklahoma City area but would drive up to 100 miles to meet. That is aprox. halfway between here and Dallas. |

| i needed to know if you got many responses from advising about your stud? how has it been going with him being a stud? are you overwhelmed with people needing a stud or is there hardly anyone? just curious.

| stud Offering a male at stud is a serious endeavor. It is so important for the male to be of breed quality and a good pedigree to warrant passing on his genes. Owning a stud dog is different then owning a pet..it is important to know the downside. Most people interested in a stud will contact a professional breeder...Why, you ask?..because they want a proven, well used stud who is guraranteed to produce quality, his past record will speack for itself...Breeding is very expensive and time consuming, so using a pet stud is very risky. I am not posting this to discourage you, but help you make wise decisions concerning breeding. I would be a friend of the breed if I do not try to educate. Best wishes |

| I am glad his immediate health has given him a pass. However, to determine his suitability as a stud and thereby passing on his genetics, you would need to know something about his pedigree and whether or not there may be a genetic problem somewhere in the line. You would need to know the dogs and kennels in his pedigree to know that. You would need to know if any of them ever did produce a genetic problem puppy. Either parent can be a carrier for liver shunt or legge-perthes but never exhibit it. But it may come up in pups if the female is a carrier as well. That's why it is so important to know exactly what you are considering using for breeding. A genetic problem such as liver shunts don't always show up by a year old. Sometimes they can show up older than that. Before considering whether to use a stud or bitch in my breeding program, I also determine if this breeding could contribute to the betterment of the purebred registered Yorkie. If not, it is a very nice pet. |
