Good luck.

Thanks so much Anna for the vote of confidence.

I have never owned a stud dog so would not know how to direct any suggestions. Though hopefully in the long run we hope Ajax will pan out to be an excellent example of his breed and hence become a stud dog. But along the way I am learning what needs and should be done to prove his breed worthiness. I have a mentor who will help me with this who is very experienced in the breed.

So my big suggestion is that if someone is really serious about breeding they need to get a mentor in their breed to help guide them in the process. This makes things so much easier for everyone. Whether you have a female or a male having a mentor when you first start out is extremely important.

Hope that helps.
