Has anyone here ever used their dog as a stud dog .

My little man is a bit small at the moment to even think about it but it's something we may look into when he's a bit older because he has a fantastic pedigree.

Actually, i have asked a couple of dog trainers and one of them actually said no don't even try if the dog is to remain a family pet ....something about once a dog has succsessfully mated they will want to do it over and over and it can become a problem with dogs humping other dogs and actually people .

I've always had my male dogs neutered because being large breeds (and bloody big lumps) i've personnally found the dog easier to handle once thay have been done .

No, I've never done it myself and I know you know that I never would.

I have not heard that about a dog always wanting to mate once he has been but that does make sense to me in the way of dominance and sexual aggression. A "fixed" dog is a calmer dog. I wouldn't do it Pants. My good friend bred her Rotts and did everything absolutely correct...yet out of a litter of five, one went to the pound (they never asked her to take him back) one was run over, and one disappeared from the yard. She was from Germany and loved the Rott breed and wanted to share that love of the breed with others because her dogs were so good. She had applications for the adopters to fill out, had written up care manuals for them, did all she could have done and that bad stuff still happened. Oh yeah- one of her pedigreed pups was bred by its adopter to a mutt. There went that bloodline. My friend was heartsick. I know when I was doing rescue, we took in several Rotts, both pups and adult who were pedigreed because the people were moving or couldn't handle them.

Okay, my spiel is over. Thanks for reading me. I know you love your dogs. I just hope you'll think more on it.

Welllllll..... all mine have had the chop.....only fing is the 2 of them still go through the motions with my girls but there fireing blank bullets.....I had 2 mistake litters some years ago....being Maltese they were worth alot of money but because I got so attached to them and not wanting to give them up no matter what the money was.....I kept them:-5 and thats how at one point I had 12 Dogs.You have to be so very careful where any puppy of yours go.....some breeders let you have the pick of the litter....worst case I heard.....apart from cruelty ones of course.....was somebody giving a dog to a shelter because she had changed her decor fgs and the dog didn't suit the colour scheme anymore..........words fail me for people like this and maybe just as well on here.You have to be careful because of the breed of dog it is and what SOME people would want it for.....security .....whatever....a place where it may not be treated right.I know the money is tempting only to well but personally I would rather give an animal away to a good home I know of then sell it to one where it would end up as so many do today in dog shelter due to cruelty and neglect........or even worse.

Hey Red thanks for repsonding . I know for a fact you also love your animals and you speak from the heart . :-6

Its so sad that dogs (of any breed) end up at the pound, I think each and every one of them deserve a loving home . We're not sure at this stage whether we would go down the stud route because what we really want is to have a calm loving family pet and from what i've been told i'm not sure if a dog can be both ...now i know that sounds silly but from what the trainer said once you do use your dog for stud you even have to be careful for young girls around their time of the month.

He said a dog thats been mated will want to hump every thing and any thing all the time and it can make them very aggressive . I guess i just wanted to find out if anyone else has tryed and whether they were successful . We're thinking if he is going to be spayed it will be at the year mark and if the chance arises we could stud him once and then spay him .

I have a male dog Carol so of course i would be very picky as to whom he bred with and it wouldn't be for peanuts in the hope it would to weed out any idiots .

I also remember my last one who was spayed he used to try and hump my leg ..i'll tell you something, having a 12 stone dog try to rump your leg is not much fun believe me :wah:

Hi Pants

I like the others dont really know the answer to your question & can only speak from a rescue point of view. Of all the rescues that have come through our clubs 4 have been used as stud dogs, all were sexually aggressive to anything including furniture. (we snipped them) I should imagine it would be difficult for you to live with a stud dog & you would have to weigh up the pro's & con's. If you were going ahead & had homes for them all, its up to you, its your dog & you wont get a lecture from me. I can understand the desire to experience a litter of pups. From my own point of view ive never let any of my dogs have as i know some breeders & those little pups that look so adorable throw the house into chaos & are serious hard work 24/7. Lots for you to think about. Good luck whatever you decide.

Hiya hunny how you doing .

Like i've said i have a male so i wouldn't have the responsibility of finding responsible owners for the pups all i would be doing is pimping my dog out (and getting paid for it) . We have to see how it goes, i would only concider that if he had a fabulous temperament .

Along with a fantastic pedigree i would hate to give away a tempermentle gene. No one wants dog who is aggressive.

I was trying to say about the pups but not very well may I add:wah::wah:;)

My unfixed Great Pyrenees is pretty docile when it comes to trying to hump things, even tho he will once in a great while. It's my fixed female Chow that wants to hump things. She will try to hump his head, which by the way he doesn't like, and if she gets really excited will hump pillows, comforters, basically anything she can get up under her. It is so funny to watch. :wah::wah::wah:

We've thought about breeding our big boy, but he had some pretty serious surgery on his shoulder when he was 10 months...he grew too fast and the shoulder socket didn't keep up. We then had to take him off of puppy chow so it would slow down his growth...he's only 140lbs.

My advice is to check out the health records of the possible mate and make sure there aren't any defects that could ruin the bloodline.
