Fertility For Studs
The stud you choose should have a pedigree that is compatible with your bitch, as well as a clean bill of health. Before breeding, the stud should be checked for inherited diseases which apply to that breed.
Of course, you can always choose to create a crossbreed litter. Some mixed breed dogs are immensely popular, mixing the best characteristics of two pedigrees.
Before mating your male dog, you must ensure that he has hit puberty and is fertile. We can assist in determining his fertility with semen analysis. Make sure he has reached the age of puberty between 6 to 12 months and also ensure that he is in perfect health.
Is he showing signs of interest in mating with other females? These are factors to watch for. Most male dogs will be truly fertile by 1 year old.
