You should not allow your stud dog to be used for breeding until he is about a year old, and even then he should be bred to a mature, proven matron who is already accustomed to breeding. Doing this will make his first experience pleasant and easy. Keep in mind that a young dog can be put off permanently by a female dog who fights and resists his advances. Never let this happen. Always start a stud dog out with a female dog who is mature, has been bred previously, and is of even temperament.

The first breeding should be performed in a quiet surrounding with only you and one other person to hold the female dog. Do not make it a show, as the experience will determine the dog’s outlook about future stud work. If your stud does not enjoy the first experience or associates it with something that is unpleasant, you may have a problem breeding him again in the future.

For purebred dogs, the standard of the breed refers to what is considered to be the ideal specimen of that particular breed. It outlines in specific detail each and every feature of that breed, both in physical characteristics and in temperament. It accurately describes the dog from head to tail, creating a clear impression of what is to be considered correct or incorrect, the features comprising the type of breed and the probable temperament and behavior patterns of typical members of that breed.

The standard is the guide for breeders who wants to produce a quality show dog. It is also used as a tool that judges use to evaluate and make their decisions in the show ring. It is the result of countless hours spent in hard work by experienced and knowledgeable members of each breed’s parent Specialty Club, resulting from the combined efforts of the club itself, its individual members, and ultimately the American Kennel Club, by whom official approval must be granted prior to each standard’s acceptance and of any amendments or changes to it in the United States.

Breed standards are based on intensive study of the history of the breed, earlier standards in the United States or in the countries where the dogs originated, and the purposes for which the breed was originally created and developed.

The price of a Dalmatian stud fee varies according to circumstances. Usually, to prove a young stud dog, his owner will allow the first breeding to be inexpensive. Once a female Dalmatian has become pregnant by him, he becomes a “proven stud” and the fee rises accordingly for female dogs that follow.

The sire of championship quality Dalmatian puppies will bring a stud fee of at least the purchase price of one show puppy. Until at least one champion by your stud dog has finished, the fee will remain equal to the price of one pet puppy. When his list of champions starts to grow, so does the amount of the stud fee.

Dalmatian stud fee and method of payment should be stated at this time. Decision should be reached on whether it is to be a full cash transaction at the time of the mating or a pick from the litter. If the owner of the stud dog must travel to meet the female, an additional charge will be made for time, tolls, and gasoline expenses. The stud fee includes board for the day of the female’s arrival through two days for breeding, with a day in between.
