I definately see your point but some people are just as hesitant to let their female go to the studs homw. What if the breeder doesnt breed to the stud you chose? What if the female accidentaly breeds to a different stud or a mixed breed dog and the studs owner says nothing?

I would never send my bitch away to a stud dog without a signed contract stating who the bitch is to be bred to, and without said stud dog's DNA on file with the AKC so that is can be PROVEN who the bitch was bred to.

People who stand good dogs who are titled generally understand how to handle bitches who are visiting for breeding.

In the dog world, bitches are almost ALWAYS sent to the stud dog for breeding.

Then you should have done your homework better when picking out a stud dog owner.

Why are you always so harsh? Ive never seen you add helpful information without being rude about it

Thank you all for your replies. I had never considered that a male might be nervous, I rather assumed they were like the males I go to college with, ready any time, any place.

She isn't harsh, Lizzie. It's the internet, it's best to avoid interpreting honesty as rudeness. Not everything is going to be sugar coated. I agree with her.

I've never gone through the process of breeding, but if I were to allow someone to use one of my future dogs, there would be a strict contract involved and I would be happy to allow them to "check me out" to make sure I am honest and responsible. I would want to do my research on a particular breeder before sending a bitch of mine to them, too.

Lord... if you don't trust the owner of the male to breed the right male, I agree !! Don't go there ! That's another puppy mill !
