Hello All,
I am a new member and have a burning question
I have a beautiful three year old AKC (all champion bloodlines) ES bitch that I was planning to breed when I got her, now the time is running away, she gets older, never shown, has not been x-rayed yet. However, I am still hoping to breed her one day.
Before I went through the expense of x-raying for hip/elbow dysplasia, what are my odds of finding an equal/or better match for her, since she has never participated in a conformation show ? Will I find any takers ? (BTW, I don't think my breeder/co-owner wants to help; however, showing was never a condition for breeding, rather a suggestion)

Any ideas ?

I would suggest looking for an AKC breeder. So long as you have all the health clearances and proper pedigree for an AKC breeder to confirm you generally would be in a position to locate a stud for fee. Granted though many breeders will require whelping experience.

Y9u may also when finding one, ask them to mentor you so you have someone with knowledge of breeding, whelping of your breed.
