How To Choose A Stud Dog For Your Dalmatian

A breeder must realize that in order to develop a strain or bloodline of their own, one strong in qualities for which their Dalmatians will become distinguished, this process involves time, patience, and at least several generations before the achievement can be claimed. The safest way to embark on this plan is by the selection and breeding of one or two female Dalmatians, the best you can buy and from top-producing kennels.

You do not have to own a stud dog. In the long run it is less expensive to pay a stud fee when you are ready to breed the female than to purchase a stud dog and care for him all year.

Keep the best female puppy from the first several litters. After that, you may wish to consider keeping your own stud dog if there has been a particularly handsome male in one of your litters that you feel has great potential or if you know where there is one available that you are interested in. By this time, with several litters already born, your eye should have developed to a point that enables you to make a wise decision.
