Tips In Availing Of A Bulldog Stud Service

By Paulette Short


If you are reading this article right now then you might have a female bulldog or bitch that is in heat. Perhaps it has entered your mind of having your bulldog female avail of a stud service so that she can conceive and give you extra pups. This article covers some basics of what you need to know when availing of a bulldog stud service.

In essence male dog owners give this kind of service to female dog owners. It is done for the purpose of mating and producing more pups. Usually the male is of a champion bloodline, which makes this kind of service attractive to those who want their bitches mated. The more champion bloodlines the dog has, the more expensive the price for mating with it.

Upwards to 3500 dollars or more can be charged by owners of champion dogs and bullies, another term for bulldogs. Fourth generation bloodlines are usually the average gauge by which you can say that the male will sire champions also. Thus if the male is fourth generation or more, be prepared to pay more. The result of paying more could be you having a lot of puppies with champion potential, which in turn you can also sell at a profit.

Before any mating can take place or even prospective contract signing for breeding be taken into account, your bitch has to be tested for brucellosis. This is a canine venereal disease that is very much a concern for all if not most breeders, as it will affect the overall health of not only the stud, but the litter as well. Only when your bitch has passed this requirement can she be considered as an approved mate before the process can begin.

As soon as the brucellosis test hurdle has been passed, along with other necessary health checks as required, then terms on the contract of mating can be discussed and negotiated. As it is a standard business transaction it is covered by contract, to ensure that the interests of both parties are clear and protected. Whether or not the procedure will entail actual mating or artificial insemination, a contract is usually required.

On the male owner side, or the stud side, the stud provider guarantees that the dog he or she has is fourth generation pedigree. The provider will usually agree to adequate care given to the bitch while in their care. The provider usually provides a return service if the female bulldog does not conceive within 70 days. This is done usually only once per contract or per dog as the case may be.

As for the owner of the female, they are usually not made to give one pup out of the litter unless otherwise stated in the contract. They are also encouraged to keep the dog in heat in secluded areas where no other dogs can get to them so as to ensure purity of the mating procedure, for the duration of the contract.

These are thus a few things that you should consider prior to hiring a bulldog stud service for your bulldog bitch. Other fine details should also be looked at so you should do your research first. You can do this by surfing more on the topic, or better yet, asking other breeders their two cents worth.
