IMO, your boy is still a bit too young and immature to be used for breeding. There are a number of factors to be considered..First, you can RUIN a stud for life by allowing him to be injured or traumatized during an attempt that it difficult. Is the female experienced enough to help him hit the target? Is she rough? Will BOTH dogs let you hold them for the tie and all during the time they are tied? If she jerks him around, he could be hurt and frightened. I guess you get the idea that I would not use a stud that young unless there were some really urgent situation. Then, AI might be the best bet.
I personally, don't know what the rush is (although I know there could be some reason that you don't feel you want to reveal) so I cannot say that you absolutely should not use him..But only a really experienced breeder should be supervising the process. This is just MHO and others might disagree with me.. |
