I am not sure what AKC Certified would mean nor is there any such thing as a breeder registered with AKC. If he has his AKC papers, unlimited registration then you could stud him out and AKC would register the litter provided the dam is also registered AKC. I will add here that a reputable breeder would not have sold on unlimited registration without their being an agreement to show him etc.
However, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
You would need to know if he is of the quality to pass on his genes to the next generation contibuting to the improvement of the breed, of the line or puppies he sires. ARe any genetic issues in the dogs anywhere in the pedigree? Testing is only a small part, dogs or bitches can be carriers and you won't know until it shows up in the whelping box.
A reputable breeder considers very carefully any male they decide to use for stud including whether or not it has been shown or indeed, should be shown in conformation.
Another consideration is that if you bought him for pet, using him for stud can cause housebreaking issues, marking territory, as he is now a stud. |
