I thought this was closed? I would like to change the question up some so that this post can be used to help out others. So here we go..... As far as stud dogs go. When looking for a stud dog to improve your yard, no matter if the stud is on or off your yard what are something's you look for in a stud dog. Now I'm guessing that we all do breedings to improve what we are feeding. And since we all breed and raise dogs for different traits there should be a range of different answers? On top of this let's say that everyone does things in the right way when looking for a stud off of their own yard. Now the right way can be the way you would go about it and that's fine but the way you seek out a stud is not the question so how you would contact doesn't have to be included in the answer. So again the question is when seeking out a stud dog that you breed own or off your yard what traits, percentages,camp, etc.... Do you look for to improve what your doing with your dogs?
