One question I have been pondering is to use him as a stud or not. When I was there to visit him my breeder asked if we were going to get him neutered. We told her probably, and she asked if we don't can she use him as a stud. Which made me think,
what are the advantages of getting him fixed, if I do how old should he be or at least by what age, and what benefits should I expect if we do use him for a stud? I know this is the least of my worries right now but just curious!
Thanks

Is he healthy and of high quality? Good lines? You don't have to neuter right away, wait and see how he turns out. Maybe your breeder knew he might have a possibility of turning out breed-worthy. Most breeders won't guarantee a pup breed worthy but many can often guess at the potential early on. I think it pays to wait as so many spay and neuter so young the opportunity to add to the betterment of the breed gets lost when once it's discovered they would have been good for breeding but can't due to being spay/neutered, while so many unworthy dogs are put out there for breeding, diminishing the breed's quality. Only you and your breeder know what you have.
If you don't have an unspayed female in the house he won't act to crazy when he comes of age.
