i have never known a pedigree dog breeder to genetically screen an animal for all the possible genetic problems in order to breed, its all about the money to them.

Then, with all due respect, you are mixing with the wrong sort of breeders which doesn't bode well for the quality of the dog you have. Just love him for what he is - a wonderful pet - and if you want another, do your homework and buy a pup in from a reputable breeder who knows about health testing and producing quality puppies.

It should be a minimum requirement that Rhodesian Ridgeback offered at stud has been hip scored, preferably with a score below the breed mean of 11.

Ethical breeders will only breed from hip scored animals, and many are now elbow scoring their dogs as well.

If pups are produced that are affected by hip dysplacia, then their purchasers will have the right to sue the breeder. If the breeder has not used hip scored parents then they could be liable for large damages.

The two reasons given are not acceptable to be offering a dog at stud,you should know the breed and standard inside out,know what your dog can add in terms of improving the breed and quality.

Definatly not.

Has he had all the breed specific tests required done with good results ?
I would suggest you would not find any reputable breeder willing to use a dog of his age with unknown background and unproven when there are younger quality dogs on the show circuit doing well.

quite well said, i have 2 golden girls and i wouldnt want to use this dog, sorry

Just wondering why people are still breeding dogs, especially the staff's when our rescue centre's are full of these poor dogs desperate for homes. I'm obviously missing something......

That is such a good point - I know it may sound a little harsh but there are so many people that feel they have to walk around with a tough looking dog like a Staff - and then soon realise that they can't cope and the poor dog ends up in a rescue home. At my local Dog trust their was such a lovely Staff that had severe back problems and loads of other Staffs - its the same with Grey hounds and whippets.
