I want to stud out my dog. What do I need to know to get started?

Question

I have a Weimaraner dog 1 and a half years old. I want to stud him out, what do I need to do to start?

Answer 1

(1) Finish him to his AKC Championship (CH)
Your opinion as to whether the measures up to the breed standard isn't good enough. Everyone thinks his doggy is perfect and if you hven't shown that breed, you really don't kw how the breed standard is interpeted in the ring and by the Breed Club.

(2) Have all the health exams done after he is two years old
OFA hips, OFA elbows, CERF eyes, thyroid

If they aren't Excellent or Good, he doesn't cut it.
Can't be done until he is 2 years old

Having an AKC registration doesn't mean diddlly in terms of his quality. Just means that he has a birth certificate and you can track his family. No AKC registration makes him not a member of his breed.


Stud fee value of a dog is based upon (1) his AKC titles his pedigree (fewer AKC CH, lower value), his AKC show record and annual standing in the his breed, passing all health checks (if not pass, value is automatically 0 becuase he will be transmitting a hereditary health problem) and (2) size of the ususal litter in a breed - some breeds only have 1-3 in a litter, some have 8-10.

Based upon a litter of 8-10

(1) With AKC CH, campaigned in Specials, qualifing for and winning at Westminster, having a family of ancestors that all did the same, passing all health exams = $1000 -1250

(2) With AKC, CH, shown as Specials but doesn't do well or having mediocre family without many titles, but passing all health checks = $500 -750

(3) Only part of AKC Championship done, excellent family with dam/sire Westminster winners = 300 -500

(4) Only part of AKC Championship done, family show record average -poor = 200-300

(4) No AKC championship points - never shown but excellent family with every generation titled = 150 - 250

(5) No AKC points, no or few (less than 75%) in immediate family with AKC CH = 50 -75


By the way fees are traditionally, no litter, no fee.

Without the illustrious family tree of over 80% Championships and a the dog having a Championship, not one single breeder who raises and shows your breed will have anything to do with you. The only bookings you will get will be random pet owners.

Sorry but that is the truth. At my feet is my large breed two year old whose sire commands the top fee of $1500 but has won Westminster in his breed 2 years running, has Championships in US & Canada, has sired dogs who have earned their CH, whose full sister was No 10 of all breeds in the US in the dog show rankings and finished in the top 6 at Westminster, whose dam was No 1 in the breed in showing for 4 years and finished in the top 6 at Westminster, whose sire was the No 1 in the dog show breed rankings for 6 years and the No 1 sire of dog show champions in the breed for 8 years, and he passed 7 health exams for hereditary conditions all with an excellent

Answer 2

I own Weims and have for about 10 years.
This is what I look for in a stud dog for my females.
Does your dog have a CERF certificate?
Does you dog have an OFA or Penn HIp certification. (I know you dog does not as he is not old enough to be certified yet they have to be two years old.)
What titles does your dog hold?
Since I breed for hunting lines I am not always looking for just a simple CH title on your dog I would prefer to see JR or SH or best of all MH after the dogs name.
What speciality titles has your dog earned?
At this point your male is not old enough to get his OFA certification and that means he could have bad or poor hips and you might not even know. Weims have problems with their eyes and Progressive Retnial Atrpohy is a big problem. They go blind from it. Unless your dog has been checked every year buy the eye foundation and given a CERF certification he could be a carrier and you would not know.
You have alot to do before you stud your dog to anyone other than a back yard breeder who is looking to make money breeding dogs.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://tinyurl.im/tdjGt

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Answer 6

The first thing to do is go to the Weimaraner National breed clubs web site and compare your dog to the breed standard, and compare your dog to the dogs he will be competing against.
The second thing to do is get him into the show ring and get him titled.
Then a very expensive trip to the vet is in order to get his hips, elbows, eyes, heart and thyroid certified. You will also want to have his kidney and liver function tested at the same time.
Then after your dog starts to be successful as a Special at the shows the business will start to come to you.

I was curious about that too. I know Craigslist has lots of flaggers that make it impossible. I really would think twice about studding out a big dog. There arealready so many big dogs at the shelter that need good homes.

Answer 8

Everyone begins training a dog with a number of unknowns. First, no one can truly know how a dog will react to training and even if you know the breed, there can be differences with each individual breed. Another unknown is the type of dog training that you use. Some dogs do well with food based reinforcement and some do not and owners will need to learn as they go along. While most of the unknowns with dog training can be overcome quickly, many owners make some pretty common mistakes while they are training your dogs. To avoid those dog training mistakes, it is important to be aware of them and that is exactly what I will be doing in this article; alerting you to common dog training mistakes that every owner has or will make at one time.

Mistake #1: Not Setting Firm and Consistent Rules: One of the most common mistakes that owners will make actually has nothing to do with the physical act of dog training and is actually a daily occurrence that usually plays in the background. As every parent will tell you, children require rules and dogs are no different. There should be rules set in place the moment that a dog is brought home. This means that if you have a rule for no dogs on the furniture, then you need to stick with it, regardless of how cute a puppy is. Not establishing those rules right from the beginning can lead to long term behavior problems and your puppy will quickly learn that he can ignore the rules and eventually simply ignore you. It is important that you avoid this dog training mistake right from the start and make sure that everyone in your house will follow the same rules with your dog to ensure the best success.

Mistake #2: Repeat, Repeat, Repeat: Okay, this may be a little confusing since dog training consists of the repetition of an action but while repeating an action over again is fine, repeating a command is not. When it comes to dog training mistakes, I would say that this is the biggest mistake that owners will make and I have been found guilty of this little offense myself. It is only natural to repeat a command when a dog doesn't listen but it is something that you should train yourself not to do. When you repeat a command, you are teaching your dog that he doesn't have to listen to a command every time. This means that a command stops having any affect on the dog and you end up having to retrain with a new command, which can take time and can be very frustrating for both you and your dog.

Mistake #3: Rewarding Bad Behavior: Although there are several types of dog training available, most trainers and owners will use positive reinforcement training, which consists of treating your dog, usually with food, whenever he does something positive. While this is an excellent way to train your dog, many owners make the mistake of treating the wrong behavior and end up reinforcing bad behavior. Bad behavior in dog training is anything that you don`t want your dog to do. So, for instance, your dog is in the kitchen while you are cooking a meal. At first it may not seem like he is doing anything but spending time with you and that may have been the case in the beginning but when you drop your first bit of food, or you toss him a little snack, he will quickly learn to beg whenever you are in the kitchen. Fast forward a year and you have a full grown dog under foot whenever you go to the kitchen simply because you have reinforced that begging in the kitchen is okay. To avoid rewarding a dog for a bad behavior, don`t praise him, comfort him or treat him when he is doing something you don`t want repeated. So if he barks at the door, don`t praise him for being a good guard dog and if you drop some food on the floor, pick it up yourself and take it to his dog bowl if you want to give it to him. By controlling the environment, you can quickly stop yourself from rewarding his bad behavior.

Mistake #4: Saving it for a rainy day: The last common dog training mistake that I am going to mention is the desire to put off training. Many owners feel that dog training should be done after a certain age but it has been shown time and time again that the longer you wait, the harder it will be to train your dog. Dog training should begin as soon as you bring your puppy home. It starts with establishing rules and house training first and then it quickly moves to basic training such as sit, down, stay. Puppy socialization class usually begins around 11 weeks of age and from there you will quickly start dog training. Never leave training until your dog is 6 months of age or older since many negative behaviors are established by that time. In the end, if you are aware of the dog training mistakes that you can make, you will find that you are less likely to make them and your dog will quickly respond to dog training with only a small amount of fuss.

Answer 9

Get the essential health screenings done on him first. You can have him pre-limmed now with OFA, they will send you back a pre-lim report. You will have to get the OFA x-ray's done again at a minimum of 24 months for final OFA certification. If you are not planning on showing him in AKC conformation, then get started in AKC obedience with him. You can start with Rally and then go into novice for his CD. You can go as far as you think you can with him. CD, CDX, UD, UDX, ect.. Utility is a lot of fun, especially with that breed. Join a local obedience club to get started in this. Good Luck.
