Question

What are the necassary requirements before i can stud my daschund. what is the best way to advertise?

Answer 1

The short answer here is the best way forward is NOT to offer your dog at stud until you have done  a good deal more homework than it would appear you have done.  I'm not trying to knock you down because you obviously love your dog.  However, stud work should never be undertaken lightly, and certainly not as a means of supplementing your income. Once you have done your homework, sit down and think more on this.   If your dog is primarily a pet, you would be well advised to keep him away from b*****s - what he doesn't know he won't miss and if you start him down that road, and then the 'supply' dries up, you are likely to have one frustrated dog on your hands, one who's mind is now on the girls - forever.

Have your dog assessed by a breeder who knows what they are looking at.  Take their advice as to what your dog has to offer your breed.  And at the end of the day, love your dog as he is, not as a means to make money?

Answer 2

If he's breed quality then you wouldn't need to advertise him.

Required to be a responsible breeder:

* At least 2 years old (no older than 4-5)

* AKC Registered (Kennel Club is the only respectable registry)

* Conforms to the Dachshund breed standard

* Has been in shows and won CHs

* Health tested for genetic problems

* Breed mentor, as the stud owner you are responsible for the matings - lots of research and joining breed clubs to find a mentor

* Female too has all of the above

Answer 3

Is he AKC, UKC or Canadian KC?

Is he two years of age?

Is he currently being shown

Has he one at least one CH in conformation?

How many CHs in his pedigree?

What were the results of his OFA CERF BAER PennHIP brucellosis test?

If he was worth studding out you would already have had people from the dachshund show circle contacting you.

Answer 4

Here we go again.  If you don't know the answer to this you should not even be considering breeding.

Answer 5

At least 2 years of age, confirmation championship from an actual kennel club (such as the AKC)  registration with the reputable kennel club in your country for your breed (in the US for the dashcund that is the AKC), he has had all breed relevant health testing done, you have researched his pedigree for problems there is not test for (ie does he come from a line that has a history of spinal problems), you have a breed mentor that can help you choose appropriate female to allow him to breed to.  (all to often people bring dogs that are of poor quality or completely inappropriate for your dog to mate to and if you allow the breeding it reflects badly on you and the quality of your dog)  

If your do all of the above you won't have to advertise the owners of the b*tch owners will come to you.

Answer 6

Ok- first off  is your dog registered, have titles or points to be titled.

What are your reason for studding your dog out? What makes your dog worthy enough to be considered for stud, other than he is pretty?

Has your dog had all the required health testing as far as hips, joints, heart, bloodwork, etc?

House pets should never be used to breed. Especially ones without pedigrees, titles or points. You are doing nothing to better the breed.

Most reputable breeders will not breed their ***** to a dog that does not have proof of lines, health testing results, titles or points to be titled.

Answer 7

First, it would be helpful if you spelled "Dachshund" correctly.

Other than wanting to get a few bucks, I can't imagine why you would want to stud out your dog. He is likely a pet-quality Dachshund, not breeding or show quality, like 95% of pet Dachshunds out there, including mine.

Dachshunds are so plagued with genetic health problems that you really should not even be considering this unless you already really know what you're doing (and you obviously don't if you're asking about it here of all places). At the very minimum, you need to have his eyes certified, and have his spine and knees checked and certified, as these are common problem areas for the breed. You need to know his pedigree inside and out, and the health histories of the dogs on it. Most good breedings are planned months if not years in advance. You don't just stick two dogs together and hope the pups come out ok (unless you're a BYB, of course). Even if your boy is not exhibiting any signs of anything (yet), he could still pass something on to pups.

If your dog was worth studding, you would have people breaking down your door to use your dog. Your dog would be well-known to be a quality example of the breed, because you would have been showing him, and he would have titles by now. Real breeders never have to advertise their stud dogs, and they certainly don't need to ask for info on Y!A.
