I've just pm'd you my Chihuahua breeders details. I bought a short-haired white and biscuit Chihuahua bitch from her almost 5 years ago and she is a happy, healthy, well adjusted dog so try getting in contact with her. Hope this helps.

Hello

I'm looking for some help here, any replies are extremely grateful.

I have a 2 year old male boxer (imo the nicest friendliest boxer ever !), I am thinking about putting him out to stud !
Where do I start ?
There is a blank section on the Irish Kennel CLubs website/dog breeeding so I dont know where else to look for info.

To be honest, unless your dog is an excellent example of the breed and is health tested then you shouldnt put your dog out to stud.
Can i ask why you want to stud him out?

The best way really is to show your dog and if hes good enough and winning then people come to you to ask to use your dog, not the other way around.

I own a rottweiler and he has been used at stud, but i show him and he does really well and im involved in the Rottweiler Club of ireland. So i would advise getting involved in the club, showing your dog at championship shows and then if hes good enough people will want to use him then.

But that is the best way to go as there are enough dogs being advertised for stud without adding another dog just for the sake of it.

Only dogs which are of excellent quality should be bred from so this will be determined by a breed specialist or at a number of dog shows.

Apparently he IS an excellent example, one of the best I have been told by a judge in fact, his Mum and Dad are Champion dogs, and anyone buying a pup from this couple sometimes call to our home to see our dog before buying.

Yes, I've had someone asking me to use my dog already at a show, he has told me he is one of the best examples of a boxer he has seen in a long time.
Thats what got me thinking about using him at stud.
And as you can see, I'm not sure how to go about it in the right manner.
And your right, I haven't just blindly thrown an ad in the media for him, I want to find out the proper way to breed him first before I go about doing it.

Well if hes as good as you say he is then you should def show him and see how he does and if he is as good then he will eb winning all round him in no time and then you will have people nequiring to use him for stud.

You dont have to use him at stud just because hes a good dog and hes entire. If you do use him at stud then it could change his personality a bit as he will always be intersted in trying to mate with bitches if there some in season in your area and he could turn into a bit of handful.

Tbh there are plenty of boxers out there being used for stud so if you are going to use him then he should be something special so i would advise getting him into the show ring and make him into a champion and go from there.
Please make sure hes health tested for all the problems boxers can suffer from before doing anything.
Get in touch with the boxer club who will give you more info on breeding and health testing as they would be the best people to advise you on all the info you need.

Thanks a mill for your feedback.
Ya, I think bringing him to shows is a good idea and see what happens from there. Im sure if someone is interested in him, they might know a bit about it too.

You've been given some good advice and starting to show your dog would be a good start but the health testing is just as, if not more important especially in a breed like the Boxer which has some major heart issues as well as eye problems. Your dog might be lovely on the outside but have some significant problems on the inside which no ethical breeder would pass onto the next generation.
I would also throw myself into getting to know bloodlines and what good points your dog has and its equally important to know his bad points so you can choose a pairing which can compliment his flaws as well enhance his good points.
Breeding when done right is v.time consuming and alot of knowledge is needed to do it ethically and right, one of the reasons I have never attempted it Do your homework and learning everything you can on the Boxer breed, go to shows and get to know people and their dogs, clock up some titles and you'll have people qeueing up to use your dog, remember a good stud dog never needs to advertise

Is there a reason why I'm finding it so difficult to get a Japanese Akita pup. Been on the lookout for a while and spent ages searching today, can't find anything and can't find any breeders.

Would be great if anyone knows how to go about getting one?

If you go to IKC website you will find a list of breed club secretaries, contact them and they will put you in contact with breeders who have pups or are planning litters.
Or try these, i highly recommend them.

Does anyone know who I should get in touch with if I have concerns about a dog breeder??

I have concerns about a dog breeder??

What sort of concerns do you have? Whilst you can contact the Irish Kennel Club, in practice they are highly unlikely to do anything!

A few more details might assist us in giving you the right advice ...

ye will do, let you know as soon as possible

Hi there. anyone know of any Irish Staffordshire Bull Terrier's Breeders in Ireland, i've been looking for a while and cant seem to find any.

Staffies are always available in rescue shelters - check out www.dspca.ie and other dog rescues, much cheaper than buying from a breeder and so many lovely dogs looking for good homes

Yeh thanks thats who I contacted, could be wrong about the guy, bought my own dog from him last year and few things didnt add up and see now he's advertising again. He gave me a different name when I contacted him initially, then said somebody else had placed the ad for him and given their name instead of his but yet his number, the stickers on her vaccinations were out of date, she was manky dirty, she had fleas, she was nervous as hell (she's a boxer and was huddled in a corner, wouldnt budge - just not like the breed), didnt see mother or father, no other pups and now in his new ad its just one pup again and says the same waffle "one dog remaining due to cancellation". As I said I could be completely wrong but the day I went to collect my own dog my instinct told me it was all wrong but I had to take her, felt more like a rescue mission! So when I saw new ad I felt I had to do something, just incase, you never know. DSPCA are gonna check him out hopefully.

What Ive done is use the Club Secretary as the contact who will be able to put you in touch with someone in your area.
And all Im supplying is the Breed and contact phone number.
Im trying to keep the list small so Im only using the most popular breeds.If the breed is not on it contact me and Ill see what I can do.

Can anyone please help. I am looking for a golden retriever pup for my family, I do not have enough money to buy one at big cost. Does anyone know of someone who is trying to off load a puppy. Many thanks.

Please do not go looking for breeders selling cheap pups, you will find plenty of scams selling cheap or 'free' pups, or you will just end up buying a poorly bred and sickly puppy that will cost just as much in vets fees. Best thing to do is save up some money and while saving research some reputable breeders who health test their dogs. Or you can have a look for people or rescues re-homing golden retrievers, be warned it's not always just a way of getting a bargain dog though, you still have to think about food, vaccinations, worming, neutering and accessories (leads, beds, collars etc.) costs.

we are searching the internet up and down for a Westie breeder (who is with the IKC) but can't find anyone. We want to stay away from donedeal! If you know any good breeder for Westies please let me know. Thank you!;)

To be honest, 8 to 9 months isnt a long wait for the right dog. Responsible breeders have a waiting list as they dont breed that often which is a good thing.
Why not pop down to a show and talk to some of the westie exhibitors and ask when they might have puppies planned.
Theres a show on this monday in dublin, starts at 9am and goes on all day. At The National Show Centre Dublin, out by the aiport.

There was somebody on here a while ago that had brought one or two in from the USA when they moved if I remember correctly, and they did mention that there are some around. If you do a search on this site, those posts should come up, or contact the IKC, they may be able to help you. I would think though that you may have to travel to the UK for one.

mazzie

thanks, have seen a few ads for them but looking through the previous posts, these breeders have several breeds for sale. Am bit wary of those who sell many dogs. have seen this dog in my local town a visitor had him/her, thought it was a beautiful dog. going to give IKC a ring tomorrow, unfor am not in a position to cross to UK at min.
thanks again

You wont get any help from IKC im afraid as they are not a recognised breed in ireland so they wont have any info about them.

Be very wary of ads online as i would imagine most of them are scams. Ive never seen these dogs being sold or advertised in Ireland so doubt you are going to find one too easy.

Have you had a look at the Japanese Spitz, very similar dog and much more common in Ireland.

Hi Ive also been looking to get a Westie puppy, and am very wary of who I get it from. Want to get a male dog and the little guy will just be a family pet.. Can I ask why you want to stay away from donedeal? This seems to be the only site I can find with regular updates of puppys..

I have also been trying to contact Mr. G. Fitzpatrick for info.. its a shame he couldnt help so surprized you were told it could take 8-9 mths to get a Westie.. I have been researching about them since June, raging I didnt realise it could take that long would made enquiries sooner..

Sigma Force

@ princess aries, if it's a pet Westie you are after ie not planning on showing etc. then perhaps try Westie Rescue.

Bizzum

Westies are one of the breeds which have fallen victim to mass production and back-yard breeding, and it is very, very difficult to source a reputable Westie breeder on the usual websites as a result. The breed is increasingly plagued with health problems, especially with their skin, digestion, hips, and temperament problems.
The breed club have a reputation for being less than helpful, which is really unfair for people who genuinely want to do the right thing and source a well-bred and well-reared pup.
If you consult the Westie Rescue site (www.westierescue.ie), they are happy to direct genuine puppy-buyers to reputable breeders if they can't be convinced to adopt one!

Princess Aries

Thanks for the advice guys will have a look at the Westie Rescue site..

Bizzum you seem to know loads about Westie's do you think I should stay away from Done Deal?

Bizzum

Check out the site I linked you to previously.
All the answers are there!

the grooming pa

Try Ann Taggart, she breeds westies, you will get her name of the Irish Kennel Club, has lovely little dogs, remember you have to get them groomed, get their shots every year, take care of their teeth and health, walk your dog, feed your dog and make sure it has shelter and is a happy little fellow, good luck in your search

Sorry, but theres no such breed as a miniature yorkshire terrier or a tea cup.

You are advised to stay clear of anyone advertising such dogs as they are badly bred dogs which are named teacup or miniature as they breed the runt of the litter with another runt of the litter so not healthy at all so i would highly advise staying away from anyone who advertises these dogs.

lrushe

My advice is avoid anyone advertising their dogs as miniture or teacup, the Yorkie breed standard calls for a dog no heavier than 7lbs, which is pretty small anyway and should be available from a good breeder. Contact the Kennel Club for a list of their reputable breeders.

conan doyle

Thanks for the info. I never really knew how tea cup yorkies were bred so now I'm more aware of what I'm looking for now. I just found out from some else that my second choice of chihuau are also being passed off in bad faith. I'll get on to some one reputable before I do anything. Thanks again guys for the info
