Can anyone tell me what this means? I have always had pure blooded dogs but most have came from shelters and didnt have papers. And the others didnt have stud book parents on their papers. I was given a dog with papers, on them his parents are listed in a stud book. Does this mean they are good breeders, (even though Im not looking to breed him for a long while!if there are no problems with health) would my male be a good breeder baring no health problems? No jerks just tring to increase my knowledge!

Thanks for being nice! The guy I got him from raised Springers for 25yrs. He told me that at 6wks of age he had people standing in line to breed their females with him. The guy had to give him away because he had a heart transplant and the Drs said no animals. The man and wife interviewed many people and chose us to take him!

The "stud book" notation has a date. That date is the date of that particular animals first litter, and that is all that it means. (first time that that dog was entered/listed as a parent)

The stud book listing has nothing to do with quality or even with being registered..it is when the parents had their first litter registered..that's it.
Being entered in the stud book doesn't mean a dog is a good breeder or even worthy of being bred.

It has nothing to do with health certified breeding stock. It is just a way for the AKC to keep track of all the registured dogs and litters that could ever be bred with the right type of registration. Even a nutered dog or one with major health problums could be in the book. Think of it as everybodys purebred family tree in the USA.

No. It simply means that all the breeders of the ancestors in his past (since his breed was recognized by AKC) registered them.
It does not say whether or not he is of good quality
It does not say whether he is from a reputable breeder or a puppymill or backyard breeder
It just says he is a purebred.
To determine whether he is worthy of being bred, you should join your local as well as Nat'l breed club and talk to breeders and LEARN about your breed. Then take that knowledge and evaluate your dog. Have your dog evaluated in the conformation ring. If he's LOOKS as he's supposed to, he'll win. Evaluate his temperament relative to his breed. Do all the testing to determine if he is healthy enough. Talk to his breeder, review his pedigree... were his ancestors healthy and what iffy things do you need to watch out for in other pedigrees if you decide to breed them.

Not really, it just means they are registered with the AKC.
If you want to determine if your dog is worthy of breeding, start showing him. Get to know other breeders in your breed. Join the national breed club, and the local breed club, and the local all-breed club. Read and learn everything you can about dogs, your breed, breeding etc.
And, of course, do the health checks recommended by the national breed club.

You can't register a Pomeranian in a Field dog category....they are not field dogs, they were not bred for pointing,retreiving fowl.

Just means the dogs pedigree is on file and has been registered with the AKC in my case.

It probably just means he has the POTENTIAL to be a good stud (he's AKC registered). If he's an excellent example of the breed (which, if his parents are registered and proven champions themselves, it's more likely), and so on and so forth. If I were you I'd get involved in showing and find a mentor before you consider breeding your dog.
Thanks for looking for information ahead of time!
