How to Find a Stud Male Dog for Breeding

If you own a purebred dog, you will likely want to continue the dog's line by breeding her to a stud dog of the same breed. While finding a stud male dog for popular breeds such as German shepherds and golden retrievers is easier than finding one for a rare breed, it is important to understand not only how to search but the politics involved in obtaining stud services.

Instructions

    • 1

      Take your female dog to the veterinarian for a general exam. Make sure your dog is completely healthy before contacting a breeder for mating.

    • 2

      Look in publications such as The American Kennel Club for breeders offering stud services. Search on the internet for local kennels that breed dogs of the same breed as yours. Look in local newspapers for stud services as well.

      Call the breeders that interest you and discuss their terms for stud service. You may even simply call the breeder where you bought your dog. Each breeder's terms will differ so call a few to compare and to find out if they have a dog with the qualities you are looking for.

      Take your dog to the breeder when she is in heat. Finalize terms with the breeder, whether it be a fee or pick of the litter or both, before breeding your dog.
