Make sure that he is worthy of being bred first, do not add to the problems that are already plaguing our breed. Research the personality changes that occur once a male has stood at stud. The goal is to keep the breed strong and true to standard, if your boy won't help achieve this than I wouldn't breed him. |
Ok first of all I am pretty sure I said tests, as in health, not conformation to the breed. Secondly, I have had him evaluated and his only faults are an immature coat and slight underbite. I know that there maybe some personality changes but am prepared to deal with them. And I am in the process of researching/contacting his line's breeders. But back to the actual question... Which
Health Tests should I put him through?
