along what was just posted...
here is the question...
do you want a pet or a stud?

these are two different dogs.

once you stud him out, he becomes a stud dog and (i don't think) you can get him back to being a pet.

stud dogs search and seek out bitches.....so if he ever gets away, he will run run run
anything you have ever taught them just goes right out the window
they mark everything
if there is a female near by in heat, he will howl
there are many other things that will change about him but this will give you an indication of what to expect.

once he studs, he is a working dog....no more a pet
