Hi Mary thanks for your input. STD's? Holy smokes lol I had no idea that dogs get STD's? Im gonna have to look this up.
Okay, a question about having a stud in the home. What if you dont want the dogs to mate when the females are in heat? Im thinking of starting with three females? Say a season comes around and you decide you dont want puppies. Do you just have to keep them seperated? I know I know lol please no eye rolling

As for a stud, most breeders have their own and do not do stud service however, if you find one that does, make sure you look at the genetic testing of the stud that has been done, along with the BAT results. Both male and female need to have eyes, ears, heart, lungs checked prior to using. Both male and female also need to be checked/tested for STD's. Not to mention, both male and female need to be evaluated to ensure both are improving the breed. There is a lot more to breeding than just pairing up a male and female. You will find a lot of information on yt however, hands on experience and a great mentor is a breeder's gold! Good luck. |
