Whether you own a male
or not the same criteria should be followed.
1. Will the breeding
of this male and female produce the type of puppies I want?
2. Do they carry
the same faults?
Do research on what faults are common in the
breed. Ask the breeder of your female what faults are in the lines.
All dogs carry around genetic flaws. Some very minor and some debilitating.
Investigate.
If the breeders says there are none, reevaluate
the bitch
( and the breeder ). See if you can find
siblings to her and if there had been any genetic problems with them. |
Some dogs can be carriers
of a genetic problems , and those problems can be carried down the
lines until the carrier is bred to another carrier, you won't know you
have the problem until it makes itself known.
Ask the stud dog owner the same questions.
You
want to try to make sure that they share no faults in common. |
