If I am not mistaken this thread starts out that you placed an ad in the paper advertising your male for stud. You have made up your mind to do something and then you want advice. This is what I have been talking about. Get your information, get your facts, before you open the flood gates.
You should have been asking questions before you placed an advertisement in the paper not after.
If your male is such nice quality- and better then the Ch.'s that you have seen- show him- let others see him and what he has to offer.
Your vet could have- should have told you about the veneral diseases that dogs can have and what should be done before you breed an outside bitch. Did you talk to him. Do you know what days to breed the bitch?
Stating the females owner knows what to do is a lame excuse. You did not do your homework. You were not prepared.
I had a yorkshire terrier for 4 years before I bred my first litter. I went to shows, I asked questions, I bought books on breeding and yorkies, and I did this over and over again. I was 21 years old. Being young is no excuse.
People are trying to help you. You have to open your eyes and ears. They are not being hateful. They are trying to share what they have learned through experience good and bad. They are trying to help you not make the mistakes that we all have made. It is much easier to prevent the problem then to try and solve the problem once it has been created.
Do any of us have all the answers no? I learn and come up with new ideas everyday from things I read on this forum- some will work others not but I am open minded.
I have yet to see a post on this site from someone who wanted to breed who states- what they do not like about their male or female and what they are trying to correct with this breeding. Why they chose a certain male or female. If I need advice I ask my friends and say- hey I am wanting to breed so and so- I don't like this about her- I want to improve- color- movement= ear set etc. what do you think puppies out of this male would be like. We sit down and work it out. We look at pedigrees- They are important. you could be breeding a brother and sister together and know it.
I may get 4 different thoughts- but we talk about it like adults- and have dsicussion - good and bad points. There is no crying. I have been gave valuable insight for a question that I asked for help on.
I have 4 males available for stud to me at this time and I am looking for a outside male to breed my Mazie to this fall. I am looking to correct a particular fault and do not feel that I have the right male for the job.
So I look and research and look and research and learn |
