Have you been considering having your dog bred? Many people like to breed their dogs for at least one litter of pups so they can continue to have a dog with the genes of the father or mother. This is a hobby for the dog’s owners, and they may, or may not, have the best information to be successful at this.

Have this breeder provide the appropriate health and purebred papers for the stud dog. This will be what is referred to as the “kennel club certificate”.
