Question about stud service (for my dog, of course. . . . ) ;) My mentor, whose stud I currently use with my bitches, plans to retire him in a year or so, at the age of 5-6. Therefore, I am going to need to find another stud worthy of breeding with my girls. What is the best way of going about this? Experienced breeders (those who do not own your own studs), how have you done this? Place an ad? It scares me to go to someone I don't know, since I've known my mentor for so many years, and have so much confidence in her. HELP! |
stud Who is your mentor using..can you use the same one she will be getting to replace...or can you buy her stud..he still have many good years left. |
She only uses her stud. She plans to neuter him & keep him as her pet. She is finished breeding. I will ask her, though, for any referals. She has never used anyone else's stud, though. |
First check your bitch and see what her faults are. Then you need to find a male that compliments her - doesn't have the same faults. He should have the qualities you are looking for. Know his grandparents. Make sure he is sound. I would check the shows and see what you like. I would not advertise. Your better dogs do not have to advertise ever in the paper nor do they look for bitches to breed to from the paper. Check your well know reputable breeders. Good luck! T. |
Good advice. I will attend a few shows over the course of the next year, meet some reputable breeders and hopefully be able to find a Romeo for my Juliets. The only fault I see that Grace has is that her coat is a little too "silvery". She is registered AKC as blue & gold, but she is not as steel blue as I would like. That would definitely be a "must" for the stud. Again, thank you for the good advice. |
