You will find many people will want you to take "pick of the litter." it is not wise to do this unless you just want another puppy. For one thing, you cannot bred the puppy you would keep back to him . I am in the process of having genetic testing done on my little male. He has been bred once but only to my own dog. He is 3.3 lbs. |
Thank you for your advice. Like I mentioned this is all new to Matt & myself. I have to research more about it to find out all the details and the process of what needs to take place prior etc. How would we go about researching his pedigree? Is there a website/book where we can get more information regarding how to write up a stud contract? We do not wish to get the first pick of the litter as of right now we are not in the situation to have more than one dog. How do we go about having genetic testing done?
Good luck to you and your male dog, thanks for the advice.
