I have discussed his ancestors...it is his heirs I worry about. A dog can
have a great background but still not throw good pups himself. Naturally I have
talked with the lady about his pedigree, but since he has never sired, I don't
know what to expect. That is my biggest worry.
I would have to drive to Michigan from KY.

Marsha,
I'm still too new to the Chihuahua breed to be of much help to you in
selecting a stud dog for your lines but back in the day when I was breeding
and showing dogs I not only looked at the dog in question but also the dog's
pedigree. I didn't want the stud dog or his lines to have the same fault(s)
that my girl or the lines she came from had. I also find it very helpful if
you are able to see photos of some of the dogs in the pedigree.
How far of a drive do you have to make to go see this boy?

Hey, everyone, check out this pic. I am considering
getting it as a companion for Ginger. She is still in a depressive state, so
I think it would be best to move forward with getting her a mate. However,
right now I can't really afford the quality I am looking for! However, this
one seems pretty close, but is a LONG drive to go get. Before I make the
trip to see him, I thought I would check with some of you to see what you
think. He is 3 lbs. so the size is
appropriate. I am not liking the way the tail is looking in the pic.
Supposedly, it is only down like that because he was scared at the time. Of
course, once I see him in person I could better tell his quality, but like I
said....hate to drive that far for nothing. Can't tell well in this pic, but in other pics, his nose appears
shorter and head rounder...... Give me
your opinions! Of course, he would have to be tested for genetic issues
ect., before I would breed him. My biggest fear is that he is an "unknown".
I have not used an unproven stud before and it kinda worries me, but I gotta
start somewhere. It will take me generations to build back up to where I
was. Marsha
