    Hi Nicky, your dog sounds great - but before your breed him it would be advisable to get him check by a vet. eg. Hip scored, Eye scored & temprament tested - this will increase the chances of mis breading. Although he might be fine & healty he may not be a good breeding dog.


    You will probably get a few people on here saying that there is already too many dogs out there(i'm normally one of them) but breeding is eventually upto you and your dog. Just remember that just because he's registered with the IKK doesn't make him a good breeding dog.

    And to answer your actual question; You should contact the IKK and ask them about breeders - call one of the breeders who you feel would be the best and tell him you have a stud dog.

    Giving you dog for stud often entails sending your dog to live with the female for a few weeks / days or having a female live with you for a few weeks/days...
