we let him lose in our yard and he doesnt leave, but i was told like a week ago that there was a female chihuahua living down the block that was not neutered so im guessing he was trying to go for her. the weird thing is that he doesnt mark inside he only marks outside. every little patch of grass. |

Glad you are leaning to not using your dog for stud. Please read the above information.
There is a lot of info in there. But, only touches on the basics of breeding.
What the article doesn't cover, is that the stud owner, though paid a fee, is just as responsible for the litter should anything go wrong. As the stud owner you should know how to whelp a litter and give assistance to the female's owner. Be willing to take in pups that cannot be placed or returned.
Keep in mind Genetic Testing encompasses many things. Tests that are done by Specialists; Eyes, Ears, x-rays of hips and knees; not only blood tests and bile acids.
So much responsibility goes into breeding, if done correctly.
