| Question about my stud Hi- I have had a male stud who has mated with the same female and produced 6 gorgeous litters. I have retired my female and am starting a new one and my male shows very little interest. He tries once in a while but gives up easity before any connection is made. It was never like this with the first female. He is 7 years old and in good physical health. I finally mated my new female with another stud last time and there were no problems. My question is, does anyone know of anything to get my male interested again? Is there such a thing as a "one woman dog"? |

| stud Many breed long into 10 and 12 yrs. I find the average stud dog slows around 7 to 8 yrs..he may still sire many nice litters, but he may not be as aggressive to breed. What used to take 5 mins, now turns into an hour to get a bitch bred..as a rule I retire my males between 6 to 8. It may be time to groom a new stud to repalce him..if you get a puppy your male will be close to 9 when the new male is producing well. Good Luck to you. |

| Thanks Pat, I was hoping you would reply. I have tried to manually help him but he is very timid and usually dismounts if I try to hold him. I don't think it's going to happen for him anymore - I wish I would have kept one of his males - he is a fine yorkie. |
