Having him as a stud would be interesting and a good learning experience. Plus the stud fee would cover his cost and the cost of his future neutering. Since you are obviously experienced with the breed maybe you could tell me what exactly is wrong with having him as a stud if, infact, he is a good example and all of his tests check out? |
If you know nothing about the breed standard by showing him in CKC conformation, how would you know if he should be used at stud. Who would ask to use him? Not a reputable breeder that is for sure.
Breeding for money is not a good reason to put him out to stud. Is he your beloved pet or a commodity?
Do you know about any possible genetic problems he may not have himself but be a carrier and could pass on to progeny? The only way to know that is to know the dogs in the pedigree, the breeders those dogs came from, and if there were any problems in those lines.
I sure wish the breeder you bought from put a non breeding contract on the registration or kept him until he could be neutered avoiding this which tells me so much about the breeder you got him from if you did get full breeding rights. If you didn't, you are going against a signed contract which means you are not trustworthy.
