Good afternoon all, I have a 4 year Dutch Shepherd (Dutch x Swiss White) bitch and I am looking for a suitable dog for her to breed with. Any suggestions? Nick
Have you spoken to the breeder you got her from? Do they think it is a good idea to breed her? If so why? Is she health tested etc?
I agree with Azz. Also do you work her? I'd think you would be able to find a sire that way even if it's through someone else? Check around.
We brought Vicky back from France a couple of years ago and yes we have done some tracking with her. She shows great promise and we should do more but...
Not sure whether you're in the UK or not, but you'll be hard pressed to find an owner/breeder of a Dutch Shepherd male at stud here. They're not a recognized breed, and while some police forces/sport trainer's breed and own them, they're few and far between. Has she had her hips and elbows scored? Not sure what other tests are required for the breed, if any, but that's a starting point. If all else checks out ok and your feel your bitch is quality enough to breed from then you may have more look looking outside the UK for a stud.
