Stud Service

"We make our males available to outside females because we believe good genetics should contribute to the breed — not just our own program."

Stud service is offered on a limited, application basis to females who meet our health testing requirements. We evaluate every inquiry individually — we are not running a commercial stud operation. Our goal is to make pairings that serve the long-term improvement of the breed, not simply to collect stud fees.

We require complete health documentation on all outside females before any commitment is made. We will not approve a pairing that we would not make ourselves. If a female's testing is incomplete or her structure gives us pause, we will say so honestly — and we expect the same candor in return.

We are happy to discuss pedigree compatibility, expected color outcomes, and structural considerations with any serious inquiry. This is a collaborative process, and we take it seriously.

What We Require of Outside Females

These requirements exist to protect the integrity of the pairing and the health of any resulting litter. We apply the same standards to outside females that we apply to our own dogs. No exceptions are made.

OFA hip evaluation — Good or Excellent required

OFA cardiac evaluation by a board-certified cardiologist — Normal required

OFA thyroid panel — Normal required

Embark or equivalent full genetic health panel — results reviewed prior to approval

Current vaccinations and negative brucellosis test within 30 days of breeding

AKC registration in good standing

Veterinary letter confirming female is in good health and appropriate condition for breeding

How It Works

The Stud Service Process

01

Submit an Inquiry

Contact us with information about your female — her age, color, pedigree, health testing status, and your breeding goals. Photos are helpful but not required at this stage.

02

Documentation Review

We review all health testing documentation before any commitment is made. Incomplete or borderline results will be discussed honestly. We reserve the right to decline pairings that do not meet our standards.

03

Pairing Discussion

If documentation is in order, we discuss the pairing in detail — expected color outcomes, structural considerations, and what each dog brings to the combination. We want this to be a thoughtful decision for both parties.

04

Stud Service Agreement

A written stud service agreement is signed before breeding. Terms include stud fee, repeat breeding policy in the event of a missed conception, and any conditions specific to the pairing.

05

Breeding

We offer natural breeding and can discuss chilled or frozen semen for approved females at a distance. Timing is confirmed via progesterone testing — we do not breed on assumed cycle dates.
