How to Stud a dog?
If anyone has studded a dog before, can you let me know the steps, advice or any other information how it's done. Thank you! |

| Before you consider breeding your dog, please make sure to have him tested for hips (he must be 2 years old to have this done) eyes, hearing, thyroid and heart. You want to make that he is 100% sound and that he is passing on only the best genes, so that future generations of our beloved breed will be sound! You should also take a look at his sire, dam and if possible grand sires and dams to make sure that they were teststed (at the VERY least for hips, hopefully for more than that) and that all those tests were also good!
Also consider joining in your local OES club, and going into confirmation! It's a lot of fun (and hard work too) and you'll meet some great people that will help you with mentoring through the stud process. |
| First the boy dog falls in love with the girl dog and then....
Sorry, couldn't resist. I have to be a smart aleck every chance I get. 
My only advice is this, be solid with your decision. I had Clyde neutered and now, as he grows up, I kind of wish I had the opportunity to stud him and have one his babies. My other dog was a rescue so there was no chance with her. Don't get me wrong, I think neutering was a good idea because it's made him a calmer, less peeing on everything dog but i do have momentary pangs of regret when I see puppy pictures 
I know a lot of our other members will offer you good advice on how it's done. |
| In addition to what Iriskmj said about testing the male. Make sure you are picky about the female too...
He can get a sexual disease from mating, making him sterile. You also will be responsible to someone's female for approx 1 week to make a catch. You will also be expected to gaurantee his success...either by money back, or another attempt. A side note about males left intact...they are walking hormones. You may get an aggressive male that humps everything, sneaks out to find a female in heat, and in effect be the cause of more puppies in a shelter. |
| If you are serious about breeding you might want to read the breeding guidelines on the AKC web site. Another good idea would be to have someone "in the know" evaluate your dog relative to breed standards to make sure that you are passing on quality genes. Good Luck. |
