Feedthevillage.com - Dog Breeders and Stud Service- What is a Stud Service?
Stud service is offered by many dog breeders who have well established blood lines and pedigree. A stud service is the opportunity to bring or usually ship your female dog a kennel to have your bitch impregnated by a male dog or “stud.” A stud service is a great way to begin the transition from dog owner to dog breeder. Before you make the decision to start breeding your female dog, you must be ready for the commitment. Breeding dogs for recreation or show is a lifestyle not a job. If you are looking to make a quick dollar, stud service and dog breeding is not for you. “Responsible dog breeding” is an absolute must to avoid overpopulation and preventing unwanted stray dogs. Each kennel will have different rules and requirements when it comes to studding their dogs. Generally, there will be a legal contract that the owner of the female dog will need to sign. Make sure you read this contract and fully understand all of the criteria. Stud services are great because you will be able to select a stud who meets your physical and behavioral characteristics. Knowing the father of your newly expected litter will give you a better understanding of size, color, head size, and bone structure. Essentially, a stud service will allow you to select the father of your litter!
