I find it quite amazing how many people assume im a 'backyard' breeder.
You dont anything about me or my dog!!!!
I said i was thinking about it, and as yet i havent had a chance to contact anyone yet so i thought I would just ask on here to see if anyone knew before i jumped right in and contact the kennel club!

Clearly you know nothing about buying a dog
I wouldnt dream of using epupz OR looking for advert in a local paper
I contacted the kennel club when i was looking for my pup.
Oh and FYI i do race her, not that you took the time to ask

Stud services are generally the price of a puppy, or a puppy back out of the litter if they are interested in your b itch or her pedigree.
The better question is, would a responsible breeder allow you to use their stud dog?
Be prepared to show a pedigree. Be prepared to answer questions like these:
Why do you want to breed?
Is it because of your b itch's beautiful markings (which have absolutely nothing to do with what makes her a Siberian, BTW)?
Those blue eyes?
Or is it because she comes from good lines, is an excellent sled dog, or has a championship?
What do you know about her pedigree? Any incidences of juvenile cataracts? Has either one of her parents ever produced eye problems? What about her grandparents?
What about her own eyes? Have they been cleared free of genetic disease by a veterinary opthalmologist?
Have you had her hips xrayed and cleared free of hip displaysia?
Have you had her tested free of Brucellosis?
Are you willing to guarantee to the people who take her puppies that they can bring the puppy back at any time -- even when it's 5 years old? That you will refund in the case of genetic eye disease?
In short, are you ready to do this the *right* way? If not, why would I possibly want to breed one of my boys to your girl?
Responsible breeders do all of these things with/for their dogs and the litters they breed. They will expect the same from you. Not trying to be rude -- just honest.

You shoulnd't feel offended at the responses you get. You're asking elementary questions indicates that you don't have experience etc. to be considered a reputable breeder. So that makes you a backyard breeder - or a would-be back yard breeder.
However - here we go again.
Once again - Spay your dog. don't breed her.
Face it - you're not experienced enough to be considered in the running for a good stud dog - from a REPUTABLE breeder, that is.
However, go to rated shows and make an appointment with other husky breeders to ask these questions, learn more about what it takes to breed dogs and a LOT of other questions. Maybe apprentice with them for a while - just to learn about Huskies, etc. And meet with Mushers too - for the same purpose.
IF - after working with dogs like this for a couple of years - you'll understand why many of us on this forum strongly discourage random (back-yard) breeding.

I recently bred my pedigree english bull terrier with a stud from a very reputable breeded. They charged £300 for the stud and offered support and advice throughout the pregnancy, birth and also once the puppies arrived. It was a wonderful experience but VERY VERY VERY HARD WORK. Do some research on your breed and ensure the stud is KC registered and from a good breeder. We took out ***** more than 50 miles in order to do it the best way possible. It is however very difficult to see the dog you love in so much pain and distress during the birth. I personally would not put her through it again although she was a fantastic mother.
Also letting the pups go to a new home is heart breaking as you feel they are yours.

The Kennel Club will be able to give you a list of good Stud Dogs, then you phone each one and talk things through including the price and then, they will have a good few questions for you too, before they agree to the mating.

Most breeders charge the rate you'd pay for a puppy from their stud or ask for choice of best in litter.
Be prepared for a bit of work though as they are going to expect you to do all the research into blood-lines etc. Make sure you have Vet certification for any necessary genetic problems, hip score etc. They won't use her without, and she will either have to have come from really good stock or have 'proved' herself in show or work. Try finding a breed related forum and talk to other owners and get in touch with the Kennel Club.
The fact you are asking for reputable breeders tells ME you are not meaning to be a back-yard breeder! They don't ask questions about cost for studs, they just use the nearest full male!

Your bit** does not comply with the breed familiar- she is in simple terms too short so except she manages to advance yet another inch before she is two- which isn't impossible, mine gained yet another inch at a pair of year previous. do not opt for a extensive canines except the two one in all her mothers and dads are on the small edge. those smaller dogues are probable a throw lower back gene from the doguins and are transforming into further and extra primary as euro breeders decide for the extra classic shorter dogues (unlike interior the U. S. the place larger is extra perfect in accordance to many breeders and judges, that's a shame, IMO). besides, if her lines are all favourite sized, decide for an favourite length stud- you have got one or 2 smaller puppies interior the muddle, however the shortness is a recessive gene, which whilst bred lower back to an favourite sized male could even out.

Your best bet is to contact members of the Siberian Husky Club of America and/or your regional Sibe club and ask them.
But you should know that reputable breeders will NOT allow their studs to be used on just any female. They want their dogs to produce only quality pups, and believe me whenever there's crappy pups the stud dog gets the blame.
They will want proof that your girl is registered with the AKC on full registration. They will want to know her pedigree, and what health clearances she has. Most will want her to have her championship. If they have working/sledding dogs rather than show dogs they will want to see your dog work, or want to know what sledding titles she has. They will also want to know that you are knowledgeable and responsible as a breeder.
Believe me, I turn away LOTS of pet owners wanting stud service. Most of the time their b*tch is not even registered. I'm not going to let my boys contribute to bringing any litters of BYB puppies into the world.
EDIT: Since you race her, you should know plenty of reputable breeders. Just ask them.

Jesus christ, way too many people are give you their opinion on the subject instead of just answer what you asked. Usually it's either you have to give them the first pick of the litter, or however much one puppy is worth.
I will however say, I just hope you research alot about breeding, or get her spayed. But I'm not gonna tell you to do with your dog and such, and I'm not gonna assume you know nothing about breeding, not like you even need to know THAT much. Because when you think about it, you think there were humans helping wolves, and wild dogs with their pregnancies? Nope.

Hi lisa, there's an awful lot of doubting thomas's out there eh? Ignore them, it'll only wind you up when you read their comments, now they'll give me the thumbs down but who cares? Go right ahead if thats what you choose to do, why not? Beautiful dogs who've got a good reputation so i see no reason why she shouldn't have babies. I really don't know how much a stud dog owner would charge you but please be careful that you're not ripped off! Do you not know of anyone who has a husky? Try asking at your vets, they may have a male on their books. Failing that you could search the net for breeders of husky's and give them a ring for advice, despite their reputation they're not all ogre's! A friend of mine has a staff who has 4 week old babies and they are such a joy to watch, really lovely. Your best bet lisa is to ask your family and friends if they'd like to buy one of your pups, that way you know that none of them will end up homeless and in rescue shelters but bear in mind that as it'll be her first litter, she may have only one! Then again she might have three or four!! Good luck to you, and your dog, hope it all goes well for you.

We need to know if you are talking about a champion line or just a reliable registered dog.
In Arkansas, a stud fee can be from about $250 to $700 or agreeing to let the breeder have his/her pick of the liter.
You need to be prepared to answer a lot of questions, from heritage of your husky to how many times a day you clean her water bowl.
Some breeders will want to come to your home to inspect the living arrangements that you provide for your dog.
Are you sure you are ready for the responsibility and financial outlay that breeding a dog will cost you?
Whatever you decide to do, remember to Love your dog!
