"Okay I was told the parents were genetic tested." I don't know about genetic testing, but I do know that AKC requires a DNA test if a male is bred more than 3 times a year.
A champion dog doesn't mean that he will throw champions. Same as humans...2 beautiful people can have an ugly kid and vice versa.
With having a stud dog, you want to make sure that the females are free from any Venerial (spelling) diseases. Yes, dogs can get VD and pass it along to other dogs and eventually it will sterilize the dogs. Make sure that whatever females your dog is bred to has a paper signed by a vet that states they are free from any diseases.
Another thing you want to consider is what kind of fee you are going to charge. The going rate around my area up to Houston is $500 or pick of the litter. Even though you can breed a daughter back to the dad (in-breeding) you should only do this if you are experienced enough in breeding. You can bring out very strong points this way or very weak points...genetics.
My male bred with my friend's female. Both were first timers and even though it probably was a little frustrating for both, they bred successfully and she whelped 5 puppies.
Good luck! |
