Where can I find a female golden to mate with my male? in IL 61364 area code?
Well I don't know how to break this too you but your boy as wonderful as you think he is, is totally out of standard for a Golden male to be considered a stud dog! He is too heavy and his color is too dark %26amp; he's too old! He would have to have so many titles and outstanding qualities behind him to even conside him as a stud! Have you even had his sperm checked to see if his sperm is viable???


My Boy here is considered a Med colored Golden and anything darker than him is a disqualification!





Stud dogs are usually under 4 years of age also have had all their health testing done at 2 years old and have proven themselves in a AKC venue of some kind! Then the owner of other outstanding females will contact these kind of Golden owners for this type of Golden's services. Not the other way around!





Let your boy be a pet and enjoy him! He is reacing his senior years and deserves a rest!





ADD: tom, I love Push! He is a super dog!
Reply:PLEASE, you don't want to find a mate for your dog online! Responsible breeding should involve evaluating your own dog extensively to ensure that he is fit to be bred. He needs to be tested for common genetic diseases that are common in the breed. You should also evaluate his pedigree to make sure there is no history of the diseases. If there are or the tests don't come back good, he should be neutered. Just because you think he looks good and he's big (the biggest Golden should be no more than 80 pounds or so) doesn't mean he's a good example of the breed, that he has ideal genes to pass on, that he would improve the breed, or that he matches the breed standard.





The female should be equally evaluated and suitable to breed. The best place to look for dogs such as these are responsible breeders who have a sound breeding plan, show their dogs in the show ring (and win regularly) and have good ethics, breeding dogs to better the breed not just to make more dogs or make money.
Reply:I'll breed mine to yours! What a great idea! So I know he is breeding


quality, please answer the followiong questions. Please fault your dog to


me.


Has he been DNA'd and tested for Cardiac Evaluation - OFA


CERF Screening (Canine Eye Research Foundation)


Elbow Displasia (OFA, by X-Ray)


Hip Dysplasia (OFA or PennHIP)? What are the results?


What is his pedigree, and have any had a problem with Acral lick dermatitis Acute moist dermatitis Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia Autoimmune Lymphocytic Thyroiditis Canine Allergies Canine Muscular Dystrophy Cataract Chronic Superficial Keratitis Coloboma Corneal dystrophy Dermatitis, atopic Distichiasis Ectropion Elbow dysplasia Entropion Folliculitis Fragmented Coronoid Process Hemangiosarcoma Hemophilia A - Classic Hemophilia Hip Dysplasia Hypothyroidism Juvenile Cellulitis Lymphoma Myasthenia Gravis Optic Nerve Hypoplasia Osteochondritis Dissecans Osteochondrosis Portosystemic Shunt Progressive Retinal Atrophy Sebaceous Adenitis Subaortic Stenosis Thyroiditis Uveodermatological Syndrome?


What are your dog's most outstanding virtues?


What titles does he have?





Do you see the problem here? If you can't answer these questions, you really


should not be breeding your dog. There are SO many poorly bred, sickly dogs


because a dog that looks ok on the outside, can carry ALL these problems on


the inside, and unless you study your dog's breed and gentics, you won't


know! You'll just think of all the cute, fluffy puppies, and when disaster


strikes, what will you do? How will you feel if you sell or give a puppy to


your best friend, and it dies from some preventable disease after costing


them thousands of dollars to try to save? Breeding isn't just slapping two


dogs together. It is a HUGE responsiblity for the rest of the puppies lives.
Reply:Even I was embarassed for you in reading all the responses, however, everyone is correct in the fact that you need to neuter your dog.
Reply:That's not enough to put him up as stud. Is he a champion? Is he AKC registered? Have you had him done on all health and genetic testings? What are the results?


If you are currently showing your male, your fellow breeder/exhibitors will notice him and contact you when they want to use him. If he's a pet or companion, you shouldn't breed him. In fact, he should be neutered.
Reply:So??? You're point is.....??? He's a good pet, but that's all.





Your dog,and the female, would need OFA certs on hips/eyes, great temperaments, have titles themselves or at least in their immediate pedigree (Champions, in other words), meet/exceed AKC's breed standards for conformation, coat color, eyes, head, topline, etc. and not have any health problems. Plus the female needs to be brucellosis negative AND be over 2 years old.
Reply:None of that matters to breeders, they want the pedigree.


If you're not showing him competitively, nobody will care.


The AKC can give you a directory of local breeders.
Reply:Why would I want to use yours instead of this Dual Champion?

Reply:NOT a reason to breed. If you don't know how to find a mate, you have NOT studied breeding long enough to make healthy puppies.


You failed to mention your dog's champion status in showing or working.


You said NOTHING about your dog's passing scores on genetic tests.


When will you people learn that "105 lbs of muscle and ball chasing" is NOT a qualification to breed?


What is your plan to advance the breed? Good breeders spend at least 5 years involved in the breed before breeding their own litter.... why would you want to be a BAD breeder?
Reply:Wow, those sound like great qualifyers- NOT.





Is he an AKC conformation champion?


Champion bloodlines?


Himself and his parents fully certified for hips, elbows, eyes, hearts?





I'd be willing to doubt it, because if he were, you'd have breeders contacting YOU from shows and so forth wanting to use him as a stud. Clearly, he's just another mediocre pet-quality dog you're trying to pimp out for money. Goldens are one of the most common breeds in shelters, there's certainly no demand for any more of them, and especially not substandard ones! Neuter your poor dog and leave the breeding to people who have a clue!
Reply:I have a female.





How are his hips? Eyes? What were his scores?





EDIT: Oh my Tom -- what a gorgeous dog that is !
Reply:I'll be honest with you. When looking for a male to breed with, Other than being properly registered, those things don't really come into play. I have never asked anyone how they exercise their male, or how his sense of smell is, and whether or not he is gentle with babies.


I am more interested in health testing results, conformation and structure of the dog, pedigree.. stuff like that. Smoke free home, sounds like you are selling a Beanie baby or something.
Reply:You won't find it on here trust me. Have you done all the genitic testing on your male? Have you shown him and won any titles? If not have him desexed and love him for who he is and not what he can make. This world is full of unwanted pets and breeding your pet will only add to this problem.
Reply:That is wonderful, why do you want to mate him?


I can tell you what I am looking for and it is not an add that I would find on Match dot com.


What you described is wonderful, if he was a human.. other than the ball issue and the 6yrs old but in dog years he is 41 yrs old so OK.


Well Now a breeder would want to know this.


Genetic testing? OFA? good/excellent


Vwd? clear


cardio? clear/no issues


Showing? champion/ agility/ obedience/working (one of)


Belong to a Kennel club? Reputable one?


Does he meet the kennel club standard?





How about the female? Does she meet all the requirements to better the breed?





that is just to name a few things. I would want to know this before even looking at your pedigree.


It sounds like you have a wonderful pet. Love him. Why do you want to mate him? What makes him exceptional.


You really described my husband... I mean, change a few things and you have :


my husband has brown hair, pure muscle, excercise running up the hills around the house, great sense of smell, registered native american, 35 yrs old, smoke free, loves children.


What makes him exceptional. ( I could tell you what makes my husband exceptional, but he is human)


What makes your dog exceptional is what a breeder wants to know.





Good luck if you decide to breed him. There are so many Goldens.
