2nd he must have all the required tests performed to ensure that he is free from any congetial diseases ($500.00)
However, if you do not have his background even having the testing performed, you are not aware what is in his blood line. Hence AKC papers are not a guarantee for well bred pure bred dogs.
Also, taking into mind most owner's of quality females have their own studs..... |

If he is a rehome, even though you have his papers available you really don't know all of the true genetic history in his lines. Even if he seems healthy there is still a possiblity that there are genetic issues in his background. I believe this is called recessive genes which can come out without even knowing. Personally, I would not take a chance on breeding him even once. Even if you contacted his breeder and discussed with her there really is no way to make sure what you are told is 100% factual. You would not know what type of puppies your little guy would produce and you might not get what you were expecting~even though he's a cutie there is no guarantee his puppies will be as cute. I just can't see the benefit of chancing all of the possibilities and uncertainty you would face all for having a puppy. You would be much better choosing a reputable breeder and outright purchasing a puppy.  |
Yeah I did bring up Jodi.....
