Also the female should also be tested and evaluated to see if she is to standard. I would have your guy neutered and just love him as a pet. His weight is over the standard (not to exceed 7 pounds) and not sure about his coat. There are other issues to check as well - confirmation (bone structure, movement), personality, etc... as well as health. Also once they are used as a stud you may have propblems with him marking up your chairs, walls, sofa, bed, rugs, etc... with urine to show this is his territory. Why haven't you had him neutered yet? There are health benefits if you do. :-) |
If nothing else consider this - your boys personality will most likely change (and it won't be a good change) - are you prepared for that? Is that really worth a pup? How fair would that be to your male, you want a puppy, so your male, forever gets to be that stud dog with stud dog behaviors.
