Think you had better wait until your bitches next season, it is normal to book a stud some time ahead and assuming you are looking for the best you can find you will need time to assess their suitability, you will need to know that both sides of the studs pedigree is suitable to link with that of your bitch. I take it you have had the necessary tests done and received a good result.
