MOJO..you hit on the difference..it is not a spur of the moment thing to undertake. Everyone seems to want to breed their male and only the best should be used at stud. How many roosters do you see in the chicken yard? Anyone who wants to breed should start with the female..JMO, buying a male first is putting the cart before the horse. If you start with a female, when breeding time comes you can pick the best male for her..the one who will compliment her and hopefully correct her faults.. all dogs have faults..none are perfect, even the champions.
If you buy the male first,then you are going to use him no matter how he turns out, whether he is a good choice or not for your female. Plus, it is hard to find one male who is perfect for every female..I had 7 studs once and each did so well with certain bitches, I couldn't part with them..I could have sold off 5 and used 2, but I would not have gotten the qualtiy I did years after year.
