wanted:  a stud dog black or lanseer not to big a dog as ours is a small 2 1/2 year old black bitch. We are looking for someone in the south west region. Please email diane@wherlock.fsworld.co.uk

Guest it is imperative you seek help with this, if possible from the bitches breeder if that is not possible then from the breed clubs. Expect you have had your bitch checked for hips, elbows, eyes and heart, but it is also important the dog is also up to date with it's health tests. As far as colour and size are concerned, it is of only of slight importance what the sire looks like it is the dogs behind him that matter, he may be black but if his mother was brown you may well get a brown and if your bitch is from lanseer stock you could get a brown and white. Please contact someone who can give you sound advice and make sure that the dog you chose has all the health tests up to date, and there is no health problem in the background that although can not be tested for is not being doubled up on. Please be aware that you could be sued if you produce and sell pups of less than good quality and unless you do your homework that may well occur.
