Please could anyone help. My bichon has came into season early and although i had planned to breed her i had not advertised for a stud as i calculated i had another 8 weeks. This i know now is not the case. I am struggling to find a KC registered stud in the north east. If anyone can help please could you give me a shout as she is almost ready

If you haven't found one yet, then I think you've left it a little late for this season. You shouldn't be advertising for a stud anyway. A decent stud dog owner will not answer such an advert. As the bitch's owner you have the choice of stud and I'm sure you will want the best and most compatible with your bitch. This will take time and research. I would suggest as a starting point you contact the breed club, details of which can be found at the bottom of the KC breed standard page of their website.

PS - I don't know what health tests bichons require, but assuming you have health tested your bitch it is important to ensure the stud dog is tested too.

urgency isnt the key as far as breeding id suggest - a lot of work has to be put into research and prep for the two

I totally agree with this post.! most people spends weeks finding the best stud dog to match there lines..It really isnt just about putting dogs toghther..
Like dundee said has you bitch had the relevant health checks as you will find most people studing there dog out will only let you use them after proof of these tests.Maybe you should start looking around now and researching there lines for her next season
