Have you ever bred before and why do you want to breed him?

no i havent bred a dog before.....

88 breeding dogs is not something you just "do". reputable, responsible breeders do years of research on their dogs lines, ( pedigree ). they have their dogs titled in conformation, fielding, herding, what ever.

what club is your dog registered with? what makes you think he is even close to the breed standard?

dogs should not be bred until they are at least 2 yrs old because that is when they are considered to be finished growing & can have all the health screening done.

here is information from the Husky Club of America on breeding

Guidelines for Ethical Breeding Practices

Things to think about BEFORE breeding your dog

those link's are exactly what i was looking for...thanks.
i have the contacts of the breeders so i can find out about some of the medical history (if they are even honest) to see if he is worth breeding..he is a spectacular puppy that needs training to improve (like al puppies) but the vet will tell us more.

You also need to do your own genetic testing to make sure the puppy doesn't genetically have an of the issues Huskies are prone to....Eyes and heart need to be cleared and when he's old enough his hips need x-rayed and if their goos then OFA certified...You also need to show him or try to so you can make sure he's up to breed standard....He should not be bred without titles and conformations....All of these things also need to be done with whatever female you would be using....BTW is this your first Husky?

yep, first husky...i knew about some of the problems the husky's tend to have...

IE. background check on his parents??

You also need to show him or try to so you can make sure he's up to breed standard.

you mean dog shows and such??

88 now that I have read your other thread, we know this is a puppy mill dog because he came from a pet shop, & should not bred for that reason.

yes, the parents should have been certified before they were ever considered as a breeding pair.

OFA certifies & grades the hips & CERF certifies the eyes. husky's are also prone to thyroid problems I believe. these are not just a health check up at the vets.

yes, he should be titled in conformation shows or in his working fields

here is the AKC standard, but of course that is for an adult

American Kennel Club - Siberian Husky

I'm glad the links were helpful for you

I haven't read your other thread but if you bought your puppy from a pet store he's definitely a puppy mill dog.....Responsible breeders will not sell to a pet shop....I can almost guarantee you that there was not genetic testing done on the parents and that they have no titles or conformations....If this is the case your puppy should not be used for breeding....if you have no proof of the parents pedigree there's no way to assure he came from a good blood which I doubt he did since you bought him from a pet store and most likely paid way more then what a breeder would've charged you....Did you get a spay/neuter contract or did it say in his paper work that he was being sold as pet quality and with limited AKC registration?...If so then you can't breed him anyway.

im not sure what you mean but ill try and answer...
im not sure about the pet quality question and i believe i got limited AKC registraion...

rees, she didn't buy the dog originally. a friend or relative did & then had no time for it - so he was stuffed in a crate long hours.

I'm having trouble keeping up with both threads here so if I repeat myself please bear with me.

I gave her some links about mills & she wrote off to see if he came from a mill. glad you got in here

88, rees knows more about the contracts than I do. reputable responsible breeders have applications & contracts with lots of rules that you must comply with. they will also always take their dogs back for the life of the dog if for any reason the original owner can no longer keep it.

if you have limited registration - that means non of his offspring can be registered

[reeskujo]

sue is right...If you have a limited registration that means you don't have permission from the original breeder to use your dog for breeding purposes therefore you would not be able to register any of the puppies your dogs produces with the AKC...A spay/neuter contract is when the original breeder gives you a certain amount of time to have the dog fixed and you don't get the dogs paper work until you have proof that it's been done...it's standard with a limited registration if your dealing with a reputable breeder....However I'm not sure how it works with the pet stores as far as what kind of contract they have you sign...They really don't care what's done with the puppies after their purchased and since they come from puppy mills the breeder is most likely not to concerned about contracts just the money!

this is really interesting to me. I've never heard of a pet store having any sort of contract & certainly not a limited registration.

88 could you tell us what the actual language is about your registration
