My Ruby will be coming into heat soon and after a great deal of though we have decided to breed her. This is not an on the whim sort of thing. I have done my research, I am not new to breeding. I have had litters before and have since had them both fixed. I have also learned a lot from the other breeder here on YT as well.

My last attempt at breeding Ruby fell through when the owners vet suspected liver decease. Well thankfully, he ended up to be ok after all, but she had him neutered any ways. I was very disappointed due to the fact that he was beautiful and a great candidate for a stud. We had the stud fee and all of the in's and out's of the contract signed and ready to go.

Her next heat will be this month or next depending on her heat cycle. I have been searching for months and months. I came across three potential candidates right here in my home town. Who have all agreed to the canine std's testing, liver test and genetics test. My concern is after all of that, who will be the best stud to get the job done. Who do I choose if all three are clear of any factors?

(The terms of the contract are all the same, The fees are very different)

Gizmo - (2yrs/CKC) Is a proven stud. He had fathered two litters with the owners female. He is very calm and was very gentle with her and very interested in her when they met. She has agreed to have him duel registered. But, the owner has been very distant in past weeks, she has family issues to deal with. Undetermined on whether we will be able to go forward with agreement.

Colby - (1 yr.) Was very energetic and showed interest in her. Is AKC but still has not been registered.

Scooby - (1 yr./ AKC) Lives just a few streets from my home. He is a bit high strung, but who still showed a lot of interest in her when they met.

I'm confused.... This was so much easier when I had my own in tack stud Quincy. I like Scooby but the whole high strung thing leads me to believe he may not be able to get the job done. Gizmo is my second choice but again his owner is being vague and giving me no sign of whether she will go forward with our agreement. Which leaves Colby who is not registered and that is a deal breaker.

I am looking for advise on choosing a stud. I am not asking anyones opinion on IF I should or should not breed her!

I siimpy need to know how to go about choosing the right candidate for stud. So, what do I do, which do I choose to use as a stud ?
