Adult females seem to be alot easier to find than males. Being that I am starting out I really want an adult male that is experienced and has all the qualities and requirements I am looking for.
And I really don't want to go with just stud service, it cost almost as much as it would to buy a yorkie and I really just want to own my own male.
So how did you do it, how did you start off?? Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look when I am ready to get a male??
Or did you all buy the males as puppies instead and waited for them to get old enough??
Any input or suggestions is greatly appreciated!! |
I bought my 1st stud (I do not offer him for public breeding) as a show dog, bought him on the basis of pedigree, health, attitude and conformation. Knew his linage and saw what his Sire had produced.
What you're attempting is very difficult. You're first going to have to find a breeder and gain their trust.
