Any tips for me in entering my Rottweiller into stud service?

Question

I want my dog to start being a stud service dog. I am researching it but anything offered as advice would be greatly appreciated as I don't know about fees to charge and such.
Thanks

Are you kidding me?? How random is it to assume that my dog is not registered with an excellent health & bloodline from a top breeder which my rottweiler is BTW. Was wondering about it.You ask questions on this site for intelligent answers not snobby assumptions

Answer 1

Yeah don't.

The shelters are full of Rotts. No one is going to want your unproven random stud to breed their bytch unless they are a backyard breeder.

Answer 2

Firstly get a certificate from the Vet to say that your dog is free from heredity defects. Also that he conforms to the breed's standards.
Secondly, a pure breed animal is the only kind that should be offered as a stud dog, so does yours have papers certifying his breeding?
Thirdly, you can get more for stud fees if your dog has done well at Dog Shows. Does he have ribbons/sashes/awards from them?
Fourthly, the dog must be able to cope well with other dogs. The last thing an owner of a b***h is going to want is a dog that is going to injure her animal before/during mating.
So the fees you can charge will depend on how well, and how many, of the above conditions were met.

Answer 3

Make sure he is an outstanding speciman of his breed for:

Conformation
Pedigree
Health
Temperament
Working Ability

and then:

Find a mentor

Finish his championship with the AKC or whatever registry is in your country of origin. Find out what health tests are required for his breed from a long time reputable breeder and make sure he passes ALL of them (OFA, CERF etc)... Make sure all girls brought to him have all the same above credentials AND have owners who will place the resulting pups with great care (you do not want your boy's pups to end up in some horrid cage being bred every time they go in season do you?).

Be willing to get a current Brucellosis test on both your dog and the girl coming to him as you do not wish to spread any doggie STDs. Know what to do when you get a false positive.

Be willing to turn down any female brought to your dog who is not suitable

Be willing to haul both dogs to the vet for an AI (Artificial Insemination)

Be cognizant of the fact that girls in season who are normally really sweet may be um... b*tches when she thinks the timing is wrong and your dog's face may be in jeopardy

Be willing to take any pups/dogs your boy has produced that end up with the Rottweiller Rescue because that is what good breeders do.

Be conscious of the fact you need to keep track of any puppies your boy produces so that you can monitor if he is producing any genetic issues.

Be aware that if he DOES produce some form of genetic ick breeders always blame the stud dog. (It ain't right but that's the way it is)

Realize that no matter what the stud fee is .. in the long run you will NEVER really make any money.

Answer 4

First off, if the genetic and orthopedic testing is not done on your dog, you will not find anyone that will want to breed their dog with yours. Get that done, if not already done because if not, you are just adding to the irresponsibly bred dogs out there.
Secondly, do some research on how many purebred Rotties are put to sleep each year due to over population and also check how many are in shelters. The reason I mention this is because chances are, many pups your dog produces will end up in a shelter at some point and many of those will be euthanized. If you can handle this, then good luck to you. Personally, I think only pro breeders should breed based on the amount of dogs put to sleep each year, but that's just me. You have the right to breed your dog, just make sure he has no genetic defects that will be passed on to puppies. Even healthy dogs can have recessive genes for diseases that will be passed on to a litter.

Answer 5

Your dog should be OFA and CERF certified, in addition to having an overall checkup and blood panel to ensure his health. It's also important to make sure that your dog has an excellent temperament (getting his CGC or getting him TTed is a good way to prove that his temperament is stable.. or even better, get some obedience, tracking, Schutzhund, etc. titles on him).

And any breeding dog should also be an outstanding representative of their particular breed. Most serious breeders show in conformation to get a well educated objective opinion as to whether or not their dogs meet the standard.

Be ready to accept that if your dog has a hip problem, temperament issue, is way off standard, etc. it would be best not to breed him. Even if he is not breeding potential it won't diminish his value to you as a companion.

If you do breed however, it is important that the female you breed to be superior quality as well. Run far far away from anyone who doesn't do health testing. Try to get in contact with local Rottie breeders, they will probably have a lot of advice to offer.

Good luck.

Answer 6

First I would talk to the breeder to see if they think he's of breeding quality.
Oh, wait, he has papers right?
Join the national and regional breed clubs so that you can learn what issues Rotties are facing. You can meet all the Rottie people in your area and become involved with Rottie rescue.
And then I would get all the health clearances out of the way.
Hips dysplasia x-ray, elbows x-rays, von willebrands blood tests, CERF eye exam, thyroid testing, and DNA tests, and whatever else.
Then I would show him and complete his championship, be cause a dog that is less than a champion is hardly worth reproducing. And then I would train and compete in obedience trails and agility trials. This helps to show the dog has a good temerament, trainability and soundness.
And then you can offer him at stud.

Answer 7

Here is some good info I hope you read carefully and follow the recommendations:

Well if your dog has excellent health and bloodlines and you got him from a top breeder why wouldn't you ask your breeder the questions you are asking here. The breeder should be the first place you look to for all your answers about breeding.

Answer 8

Do you know the rottweiler breed standard? Does your dog match the breed standard? Has your dog been tested for common health problems within your breed? Is he OFA, BAER, and CERF tested? Have you researched his pedigree? Have you shown him until he's a Champion? Did he come from health tested, Champion parents? Is his breeder willing to mentor you? Do you know how to make a good match looking at your dog's pedigree, and that of a potential mate? Are you a member of your local kennel club, as well as your national breed club? Are you active in kennel club and registry meetings in your area?

If you answered "NO" to any of the above questions, please have your dog neutered, as he should not be bred. There are too many homeless dogs (yes, purebred rottweilers included) that are killed in shelters every day. If you are not serious about bettering the breed, please do not breed at all.

Answer 9

Do you have registration papers on the dog and permission from his breeder to offer him for stud? Has he been screened for genetic conditions known in your breed? Not every pedigreed animal is good enough to be a stud/queen. Your dog's breeder is the best source of information and will refer dogs to you for breeding, if appropriate. Breeding animals must be carefully selected for health, temperament, pedigree, genetics and conformation. Just because you have a nice dog, doesn't mean he should contribute to the future of his breed. Ask the person who knows his background best, his breeder.

Answer 10

First, finish the rottweiler in the show ring, then have him screened for all health problems that are prevalent in the breed. Then, I would contact the breeder that you got the dog from in the first place for advice on fees and acceptable girls to breed him with so that you are sure that you are breeding for the betterment of the breed and not just for the extra money.

Answer 11

Oh gorgeous, somebody who's familiar with genuinely no longer something approximately breeding, genetics or what makes a dogs qualified to be a reliable stud (who ought to impact the breed constantly greater - by skill of getting used) needs to stud out her dogs (surely purely because of the fact he's MALE). never innovations, he has no genetic well-being screenings, no titles, no longer something to propose him as being an asset to the breed. in case you do no longer start up with an stunning dogs, you won't be able to probable help or boost the breed (that includes an effective temperament proper to the breed) and dealing ability, besides as better conformation and stable well-being... shown by skill of genetic screenings (alongside with OFA or Penn-hip to instruct he would not have dysplastic hips) CERF for eyes, & a thyroid attempt. we've actually almost a million,000 Weims in step with twelve months, desiring to be re-homed by way of people who do rescue. we don't want from now on mediocre domestic canines, removing helpful residences from the adults who want them. different than a domestic dog miller or exterior producer, no person needs to apply a stud with no longer something to furnish. in case you at the instant are not convalescing the breed, there isn't any element in making gray protoplasm, purely considering you like to be paid for sperm. the two instruct the dogs is worth being bred, or get him neutered.
