I know this is probably an old thread but I'm trying to research about offering my dog for stud, as it is completely new to me I'm not sure how to get started.

From reading through the post, I would think to bring him to the Vet and have a full health check first to see if he is suitable?! He comes from a show background, a very rare Japanese Akita Inu with the right colour and temperment. It is so rare in the UK that I haven't actually met another one yet as most are American Akitas.

So, apart from the price to ask for, can anyone suggest where I should advertise it? Because there is a lack of breeder in the UK, I can't really contact the exisiting breeder to ask around. If anyone know of any reputable Japanese akita inu breeders in the UK, please forward their details?!

Also, how old does he need to be? He is now 1 year 2 months, please advise.
