Answer 1

I am so sorry that everyone in here seems to want to beat you up. Some people seem to forget that every breeder started somewhere. By asking questions and getting intelligent answers, you are more likely to do what is best for your dog.

First, is your dog AKC registered? If not, stop now and do not breed your dog. Even if he is registered through a different registry, he is probably not "good" breeding material.

Next, you must know the pedigree of your dog. If it does not have any champions in it, your pup is probably not worth breeding. Stop right there and do not breed your dog.

Third, check to verify if your dog falls within breed standard set by the AKC. Go to AKC.org and check out your breed. If your dog is in any way out of standard, do not breed him.

Then, if the dog does have champions in his line, and falls within standards, take your dog into the vet and have him tested for any genetic issues that may cause him to be unfit to breed. If your vet is qualified, have the dog temperament tested also. Temperament is one of the most important attributes in a dog. If he fails any of these tests, do not breed him.

Finally, post a listing at your vet's office offering your dog for stud, with payment as "pick of the litter" or the amount you are requesting as payment. However, once you have done all this work for your dog, make sure that the potential mate has the same background work done on her.

Now for my lecture....Not all dogs should be breed. Breeding takes time, energy, and a lot of money. There are so many dogs in shelters or puppy mills now, that should never have been born or breed. Please think long and hard about the quality of puppy that your dog may produce.

Answer 2

First you need to prove that he's worthy of breeding.

You start by showing him to his championship. While you're showing him, the other breeders will see him and if they like what they see, they will ask about using him.

You also need to have him tested for health problems common in the breed. There is a list of recommended tests here http://americanboxerclub.org/health-screening.html

Then there is the management of a stud dog.
Here are some articles on the subject

Remember, the stud dog is ALWAYS blamed for any faults in the puppies. Never let your dog be bred to an inferior bi tch, the puppies will reflect on HIM.

It's a good idea to join the American Boxer Club, your local Boxer Club, and your local All-breed Club so that you can network with dog people and learn more about responsible breeding.

Answer 3

and what are the hip scores and heart test results?Is there any history of entropion in that 5 generation pedigree? What shows has he won in the last year and is he proven? A succesful show dog doesn't usually need to be advertised. If your dog is purely a pet are you prepared for the temperament changes which will occur when he is used. like leg cocking and aggression towards other dogs and constantly getting out to find b1tches to mate?
If he is just a pet, why would anyone want to use him given that for a small stud fee, they can use any champion in the country?

Answer 4

35 champions in how many generations?????? Well, that is close to almost every dog in the pedigree. One would have to ask WHY if you have such a great dog, gotten from such a great breeder, why would you be asking on HERE about breeding your dog??????? That would be handled through the breeder you got the dog from. Breeders breed with certain "lines" and not all want the same thing. You don't go breeding to any bit ch that comes calling. You have health clearances done, contact the breeder you got the dog freom, and go from there. Enter a few shows to boot and PROVE that the dog is a WORTHY example!!!

Answer 5

Do you show him? Has had all the necessary health checks? Is he a good representative of his breed? If he came from a knowledgeable reputable breeder, they would be the people to ask, otherwise join one of the many Boxer breed Clubs & learn as much as you can. If you care about where your wonderful dog's puppies may end up, you won't allow anyone other than a reputable breeder use your dog.

Answer 6

I find it so hard to believe an armature would have a dog with this pedigree, especially when you cant spell pedigree. That really sounds impressive but I find it hard to believe. No breeder would get rid of a dog that is "wonderful dog all round" If the dog was a good example of the breed they would either keep it for themselves or sell it to an established show handler. Sorry I just don't believe it.

Answer 7

1) show him get him pointed or his championship or get him evaluated by at least 3 unbiasedknowledgable people/judges to make sure he meets breed standard

2) get his hips x-rayed and certified by OFA or PennHip

3) get his thyroid tested

4) get a cardio test done

5) get CERF/PRA done on eyes

6) research pedigree for hip, eye, thyroid, heart, skin issues all that are very common in your breed and should not be passed on

If you dog is good enough, if he passed all health tests, if his temerament is sound then people will usually contact you to ask about breeding.
I also recommend that you join a kennel club in your area, and contact the Boxer breed parent club for more info on health, etc in the Boxer breed. You should be 100% knowledgable of your breed before ever considering breeding.
