Well I personally stud Tino out. Which most of you have already seen postings and such about him be a daddy. You have to first and for most
stud your dog for the RIGHT reasons. You DO NOT make money. Yes there is a fee but trust me you work for it. Unless the female and Male make it easy on you, which almost never happens. There is alot of things that you need to be able to stomach. Also you have to do your research on how the process works such as if they tie by themselves you have to know to jump in and hold the female and keep her calm, so that she does not hurt your male. You nweed to know what tests need to be done by your vet. You need to know how to "assist" if the female is inexperienced. You need to know how to "teach" your male to mount and never discourage this behavior. You have to be willing to change your dogs attitude completely. Your carpets will be stained. He will be uncontrolable around females in heat (not listening to you). and so on and so forth. If you would like to pick my brain about this we can PM. Before I got in this I knew my dedication to the breed and all of its benefits. I have turned bitch owners away becuase they didn't match Tino correctly or they were too small. There are many questions that need to be answered before you stud. Your starting early enough to do the research, becuase you shouldn't really stud your male until he is 1 1/2 to 2 years old. (maturity issues). He will not have the focus before then. Hope I wasn't just rambling. I will tell you the rewards of seeing those faces make everything worth it!!!! Thats what means the most to me!
Oh and after 3 litters in a calendar year or 7 litters or more in a lifetime he has to be DNA tested from the AKC which runs you about 40 bucks to make him a FUS ( Frequently Used Sire) ok now Im rambling LOL. Just PM me if I missed anything. Which I most definately did.
