APRI registered stud Hi I have a male who we are wanting to stud. He is apri registered because the lady who had him was diagnosed with cancer and she just gave them away. I want to know a few things. 1. What fee can I charge for him? I was told by the lady she was selling him for 1500 before she became ill. 2. Where can I go about finding a female for him? |
FYI, APRI is not a reputable registry. Only AKC is. Other than that, do you know the history behind this pup? Genetic defects in the line? Not just with him, but generations and generations back. Is he a good representation of the breed? Have you done testing? What if the bitch only has one pup? What if all the pups die? What if there are no pups? What if the bitch dies during whelp? If the puppies have defects, who is responsible? There is MUCH more to breeding than just how much to charge and who he gets to tie with. The female must also have been thru all the tests and be healthy and a good representation. |
How do I register him with a reputable registry?? We have his pedigree as far back as possible and they have no kmow defects or health problems. He is considered to have champion blood lines from both of his parents etc. |
Why do you want to breed this dog? If he is APRI, his very pedigree is questionable. This has got to be an adventure you want to embark on because you are thinking you can collect a nice stud fee, and that is the end of YOUR responsibility or involvement in any litter produced. And it really is........IF you can look at yourself in a mirror, knowing you are responsible for producing litters of puppies that have questionable genetic health, and that a baby you are responsible for bringing into this world, has a liver shunt or a life threatening heart defect, and the unsuspecting person that bought that puppy, now faces heartbreak and huge vet bills, trying to correct a mistake YOU are responsible for producing. I find that reprehensible and unethical, at best. |

As for champion blood lines, if you go back far enough for any yorkie, there is bound to be several champions. It only means something if he is champion sired. That is highly doubtful since he is not AKC, therefore, his parents must not have been shown. |
Well in order to use him as a stud to would need to find a back yard breeder or puppy mill because in the untied states these are the only breeders who will mate dogs that are both not AKC. |
Ladies I couldn't thank you enough for informing me on this information. I will be going to the lady that I got him from tomorrow to find out why he was not akc registered and if his parents are akc registered can I register him under them? Also he has been checked and tested through my vet with a clean Bill of health and no genetic issues and has been given an ok for stud services. But in will be finding out more information and when I do I will post it here. |

These tests must be evaluated by board certified specialists and once done, their results are posted to an independent health database. I am assuming that you have not bred before; therefor at the minimum you would be looking for some-one who is experienced, to supervise or monitor the tie to insure nobody is injured in that process. There is a whole lot that goes into responsible breeding practises, take your time; do your research, find a mentor who you can learn from. As a comment many general vets (unless they are responsible breeders themselves), do not have the breed specific knowledge of what specialized tests are recommended by the appropriate National dog clubs. For the Yorkshire Terrier this is www.ytca.org |

You say that your not sure what APRI is and it’s a free pet registry for commercial breeders. It’s was started by commercial breeders many of which are considered puppy mills. Quote:
