I have a Champion dog that I want to breed.?

Question

I have asked the breeder to breed him and also his father;s breeder, both breeders do not want to breed him. I think they are black balling me or they have not given me a good dog and do not want to use him. I want to know what I can do about this situation.

Answer 1

if your dog is a champion, like a true champion in the show ring and not just a dog with papers that has champion bloodlines in it. if the breeder does not want to breed him find out the reason why, there might be a reason as to why you should not breed your dog and have him neutered. first why do you want to breed your dog? how old is your dog? if you think your dog is a good representative of his breed, then show him and put titles on him, people will be knocking on your door to breed to him.

Answer 2

Trust the breeders when they tell you not to breed him. Just because he's a champion, he could be the carrier or a genetic disease that could be passed to his offspring. Or they could just be being selective about who they allow to breed dogs (it's a long, difficult, EXPENSIVE process that should only be undertaken by professionals).

If your dog is a Champion, then he is obviously a good representative of the breed. Many times once a breeder/handler has finished (gotten a championship on) a dog, they will sell the dog to a home with a contract dictating if the dog is to be neutered or not and if they can use the dog for stud. If you signed a contract when you got the dog, you're bound to it. The breeders might not have a female that they would like to breed to your dog, or they could know something about him you don't.

Kudos to you for asking the breeders before you bred your dog. Don't go running out to breed to anybody now, and don't automatically assume you were ripped off. Keep in contact with the breeders and let them know you would like them to consider your dog for stud services.

Answer 3

When breeders of a dog wish not to breed it, chances are there is something they are not telling you.
A) Your dogs sire or dam may have tested badly on a health screening and your dog may be prone to it.
B) They are not satified with the confirmation of the dog.
Both are godd reasons not to breed, however if they allowed you to have a full registration, then it is up to you.
Being a Champion is a nice brag to have but lots of reputable breeders breed for health, and type without even stepping foot in the ring.
You should have a honest dialog with the breeder(s) and find out exactly why they choose not to breed him. Tell them you would like a better understanding as to why, and then you will know where to go from there.

Answer 4

Is your dog a champion show dog (in conformation)? If he is, the breeders may not want to use him because he is of the same bloodlines as their dogs, which can cause sever problems by breeding related dogs. If you dog is a conformation champion, has been checked for all breed health problems, has no genetic problems (such as demodectic mange), and has an appropriate temperament then maybe try another breeder that doesn't have dogs of the same bloodlines. If all of the above has not been done (health checks, etc.) then your dog should not be bred.

Also, some breeds do not want to show specific colors. I know with French Bulldogs, many handlers (people that show dogs) want to show fawn frenchies, not the more common brindle.

Answer 5

Your dog can only be a champion if he has been shown. If he is a champion as you claim why would you say they have not given you a good dog. You own the dog now and the breeder does not have to use your dog for breeding just because they sold you the dog so there is nothing you can do about it. Why do you want to breed? Perhaps your reason for wanting to breed is why they will not use your dog or help you.

BTW having champions in the pedigree or being sired by a champion is very different then the dog being a champion.

Answer 6

Well for one thing, seeing as you say you finished him, you should know that usually the bitches look for the stud, not the other way around.

Special him and start getting some group placements, get him seen and winning.

Stud dogs are usually only the very best dogs, just because he finished his championship does not mean he is stud material. The very best stud dogs are available to all, there is no reason someone would settle on a cross eyed dog. A cross eyed dog would probably NEVER be used enough to get an ROM.

If you are a show person, I can't understand why you do not know these things, and why you would be asking all the pet owners *here* for advice.

Answer 7

There are millions of homeless dogs, and they are being euthanized every day. Champion means, award winning in some area(s)..Show Ring for Conformation, various types of competition, working dogs that are very talented and valuable (Schutzhund for instance).. not just a pedigree or a pretty dog. Even with that, health screening should be done at certain ages for various things..usually specific to some breeds. Some are more prone to hip probs..so get those screened. Others elbows as well.. Heart probs.. the list goes on. Only with all of these things met, is there a reason to possibly breed a dog.
Get your dog neutered.
If it's a female, the more estrus cycles she goes through,the more likely she is to develope mammary cancer among other problems. Besides adding to the existing overpopulation problem And, you can lose her in breeding.
Males that aren't altered are more likely to develop certain types of cancer. And altering helps prevent some undesirable behaviours, and again, adding to the overpopulation problem. Surely, there are reasons they don't want you to breed the dog. Have it altered and enjoy your pet.

Answer 8

There is already a problem with the pet population size. Too many dogs don't have homes. Unless your dog is a really good representative of his breed and you want to be responsible for finding nice homes for his offspring you should have him neutered. Also, there is most likely a medical explanation for why the breeders turn him down.

Answer 9

Sounds like you got sold a bill of goods when you bought that pup. If it was a champion like you say, they would have kept it and not sold it. Get the dog neutered and save youself a lot of problems. You got conned. You should not breed the dog as you obviously know nothing about dogs or champions.
Sorry.

Answer 10

There is a reason both breeders do not want to breed him. Accept their opinions and get the dog neutered.
