CourtJester Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am curious if anyone knows any good information sources about studding, I am going to ask my Vet for information and I have about a year before my fellow can be used for studding but I want to learn as much as I can before that time. I am a big beliver in research and infromation gathering, Be prepared and all Are there any decent books out there? What are your experiences ? Clarification of Tests? Hip and eye tests etc... Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 dogs shouldnt be bred from younger then years old - 3 to 4 years ideally any reason WHY you want to stud your pup out? never studded my dogs out or bred my girl - dont want to due to the amount of sibes in rescue so cant help much however i know an ideal hip/eye score is around 7 and under and that YOU have to be prepared to help out if the bitches owner needs it - if a pup needs taking back in the bitches owner cant do it you should - its not just letting a male have his way n thats the end of it - sum1 else will be able to give u more insight to what i can tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Why do you want to stud out your dog? You'll find that many on this forum are against breeding (and for good reason; there's too many huskies out there already in the pound!). How old is your dog now? Generally, they shouldn't be bred until they are ATLEAST 2 years old...though older is ideal. I don't have any experience in this, but sutsibe is a breeder so she should tell you what you need to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elyse Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 So...let me get this straight, the only reason why you want to stud him is because it's natural? If we can't sway you otherwise, then I'd recommend waiting for sutsibe to respond. You'll want to make sure the dam (the bitch) has a great/excellent hip and eye score as well...or the pups might get her genetic problems! Also, they both should have excellent temperaments and conform to the breed standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I don't think it's far for you to judge me much like you seem to be just because I believe in such a thing. you seem to have a very condescending way of typing things.

I think you would miss sex if you never had it as your natural instincts is to do it. i fix my dogs so they dont have the desire to mate and add to all the dogs in the world already far far to many in rescues as it is ud miss it more if u had it once n never again like i said when my girls in season its really stresses my male out cuz he tries to mate with her but cant - and its horrible to see how stressed out he gets from just being able 2 smell her in season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want him to be stressed like Bings is We were thinking to Have a pup from Czar after finding a perfect genetic match hips/eyes scored and helping out the breeder with the pups as well. We were thinking of it to keep the breed standard going. He's far too young, and we have a long time before thinking of this. Before then, we will most likely have a young rescue (not threatening to Czar, as an older one could cause strife due to heirarchy issues) or another pup from a breeder. This whole issue is a hotbed for controversy as some would say not to breed if you're not showing them in dog shows or racing them(and we are not going to be involved in either most likely), but there are those better suited to answer your question than I.

Blaze doesnt seem as bothered as Bings but because we dont know bings background i think he might have been bred from before we got him which is why - now hes neutered he gets stressed out because he cant breed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AttilaVikingsDemon Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Poor Bings:( Glad you rescued the fella, tho. We checked around our area, and the hips are not too bad in price to have checked, but the eyes have to be done by an opthamologist, and in our area at least, there's no one close and its more expensive, but whether we studd him or not, we're going through the tests to be sure of his health, we have to go to the famous Purdue University to get his eyes done-hope everything turns out excellent in his tests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, like you have said yourself "it all comes down to opinions". No one is judging, insulting or calling you an idiot, it's just there opinions. It's hard when your reading typed discussions as they can be taken the wrong way, just like mobile phone texts as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
