OwyheeStar Stud Dogs
   ~Current and Past contributors

What makes them a Stud Dog?
Any intact male could produce a litter of pups. There are many factors that make these good OwyheeStar choices.

• Healthy parents and grandparents are important factors.
• Body structure is important.
• Overall health.
• Great temperament.
• The right DNA profile for the potential female candidates.

For more information on the OwyheeStar individual Stud Dogs, click the associated page link above. OwyheeStar usually does not offer Stud Service without good reason to do so. An open breeding program, means potential sexually transmitted diseases could be introduced. These types of diseases can lead to sterility, and other problems. If you want to inquire about Stud Service, write Cliff Nielsen (cliff@owyheestar.com). Include photos, AKC records, etc. with the inquiry.

A Stud Dog has a long career. It can begin as early as at 8 months and span more than a decade. Frequently used (AKC Registered) Stud Dogs are required to have a DNA profile on file with AKC. Although OwyheeStar prefers to have fewer Stud Dogs, some are rarely used. Each serves a purpose. Some are older and related to most of the OwyheeStar females. OwyheeStar does not mate back to the same lineages, so this means the Stud cannot be related in order for a mating to be planned.
