His Grandfather won Best Rottweiler Male at Crufts 2005. My boy is exactly like him. Should I let him be a stud dog? He's a proper Rottie, sturdy,rugged,really good head on him.

If your Rottie won Best in Show then you really should breed him. Keeping the breed standard of a show dog is a breeders dream. If he's a champion, he's obviously well formed and a fine specimen of his breed.

What I don't understand is why you'd turn to Yahoo answers if you're experienced in breeding/showing to the level winning Best Male at Crufts...figured the dog show crowd would be able to give better advice than you could get here.
Like the others have said, make sure he passes his clearances, etc. etc. etc.
Solely breeding based on the accolades of the grandsire is not the best idea. But it sounds like you're going to do what you're going to do.
Best of luck, I hope the pups turn out!

No. If your dog has not been proven to have excellent conformation and/or has not been an AKC show winner numerous times, then bloodlines alone does not warrant breeding. A Rottie professional should look at your dog and then you can go from there. If you are not involved in the dog showing world regularly and can't pick out standard deviations on rotties, then your eye should not be the judge on his 'proper rottie' status. Simply having an AKC dog with a CH in it's bloodlines does not warrant breeding him. Allow a professional to help you before you start on this path.
And remember, there is much more to breeding dogs than simply putting two dogs together. Read my links for more info : )

I almost wondered if this was a trick question---to prove that even if someone had a dog that went BIS some folks would say "don't breed." LOL So,I'll say it. "Don't breed YET."
One best in show does not a stud dog make. Where was he BIS? Is he a breed champion? Does he have health clearances?
What is his temperament like? What does his breeder say?
As for being "just like" his grand-sire, why not call Marty's breeders Eddie and Isobel Nichol at Jacraila Rottweilers?(Marty is the dog who went best male at Crufts in 2005) They could probably help you evaluate him. After all, Isobel is a judge.
If you're too far away, they could probably put you in touch with someone close by to guide you.

So, did YOUR dog win or did his GRANDSIRE win?
Just because a dog is an excellent example of his breed does not mean you should breed. Breeding takes an incredible amount of time and money. There are so many rotties right now, you should only breed if you have a home for each of the potential puppies. Also, good breeders want to know how your dog has done in showing, not his grandsire. One show win does not make a champ.
Having your male at stud means you will have females staying with you when they are in heat. Have you had experience with the breeding process? Are you willing to take the risks of possible injury and death to your dog and the visiting female? Are you knowledgable about std's in dogs?
If you want to be a breeder, start showing your dog and study for at least 2 years about all of the issues surrounding breeding, health and legal. Only then should you consider it.

"i'm thinking why maximum of people on indexed right here are against breeding a dogs if it is not any longer for prepare purposes." i do no longer think of people interior the communicate board think of each dogs ought to be a prepare dogs, yet extremely in elementary terms prepare canines ought to be bred. showing canines is in no way for every person, and not each domestic dog in a clutter from prepare dogs mum and dad would be a prepare high quality domestic dog. Having a dogs that has earned their champion call often means that they have ultimate suited conformation (physique shape), meet the standards of the breed common, and have stable flow. although, there are various politics interior the prepare international and in some situations no longer worth canines do earn their champion titles. the entire factor of breeding a dogs ought to be to extra effective the breed and finally end up with doggies that are extra effective than their mum and dad. in case you're no longer breeding the ultimate canines of the breed you could start up passing on features that are no longer appropriate. I surely have heard it suggested many situations from decrease back backyard breeders that they do no longer want a opt to tell them that they have an excellent dogs. that's what's called "kennel blindness". it is lots much less complicated for somebody who does not be attentive to the dogs to make certain it is faults. i think of we've all been to blame at one time or yet another to love some thing, or somebody, lots that we are ignorant of it is short comings. i wish that helped answer your question.

Congratulations on the BIS win, those are hard to come by.
A breed win at Crufts is as big as it gets, but in reality the accomplishments of a grandparent has little influence. What did your dogs parents do????
If your dog has proven himself in the ring, and has all his health clearances, then it is time for him to prove himself as a stud. Pick a good solid proven B!tch for his first breeding. Then by what their gets are like you will know what to do.

agree with stalkers..........you may have a fine dog, but breeding should onl ever be done for the good of the breed and you need to know what you are doing. and consider the cost - it is cheap, and you will not make money at all!

I tell you something,if you put your dog out to stud you can't just turn that on and off as you like .Your dog will be used to covering any ***** on heat ! If you fancy controlling a big dog like that every time you go out with him and he gets a whiff of a ***** on heat, than go ahead .I would find it very cruel !
Think about it ! We have so many unwanted dogs in this world,do we really need any more !

Well, you say NOTHING about all the health clearances he's racked up.
Guess that should come first.....THEN decide.
What show did your dog take Best in Show at?????
Hope he isn't the same dog that bit your friend because she came up behind him. Never breed a dog with a questionable temperment.
