Hi, concerning the minimum and maximum age depends also on what breed the dog is. The minimum age for small breeds is now 15 months and maximum age is usually about 8 years old but I am not sure if it's exactly the same for male dogs but I would pressume so.

hi there

i am new to this site. i have a year old jack russell that i'm thinking of putting to stud. i would like some info on what i need to do test's etc........

i have read lots of comments from people who think anyone who wants to breed their dogs are in it for the money. so if you are thinking of asking me why i want to breed i'll tell you now and now only.

my stud 'smudge' is gorgous loves other dogs, cats and kids alike loves cuddles loves walks so full of life. i have seen both mother and father together and to carry on that family line would be something i feel i have to do. i have had jack russell's since i can remember and will do for many years to come i have had so many people telling me that they would love to have one of 'smudge's' pup's.

so if you could help me i would be very grateful

Unless your dog has some good show wins under his belt, or his breeder, if well known in the breed, thinks he is of top quality I see no future for him as a stud dog.
(I can trace the pedigree of my latest nine month old dog puppy, who is Kennel Club registered, back to the beginning of the breed, some thirty generations. So what! Three of his grandparents are Champions, as is his sire,and the fourth grandparent has her Junior Warrant. He is also qualified for next years Crufts, yet he is soon going to a pet home, as I don't consider him really top class, and therefore no use as a stud. A dog which is not the tops is just taking up space, and is a problem with bitches around.)


why do you so called experts always insist that you can only breed your dog if you have it as a show dog this is so much toff i have been around show dogs most of my life just cos it wins some shows doesn't make it better then the next dog you think your all so high and mighty i've read so many comments on this site and others less experianced breeders asking for help get treated like scum i.e. you think everyone is either after money or they are staff owners

I agree in part, some show people can be rather stuffy and think only their dogs should be seen,
I would like to think i would help any new breeder if they needed advice, show dog or not.
