i want to put my chocolate lab up for stud his pedigree and hip scores all check out do you know anyone on the wirral who might be interested or do you have any advice on where to advertise.

regards clare

Hi Clare, you won't need to advertise him if he is a winner. You need to either start showing him or get him trained for working, and if he does well, you will have bitch owner come to you without the bother of advertising.

Suggest you read the first post in the breeding section.
There are a great deal of good dogs in the show ring for the bitch owner to select from it is very unlikely they would need to come looking for a dog outside that field I'm afraid. 

Here is a Kennel Club guide http://www.the-kennel-club.org.uk/kennelclub/documents/13744Stud_final.pdf

Frankly as the labrador is the most overbred breed in the country with 45000 pups registered with the kennel club last year alone and many other non registered litters born, unless your dog has some outstanding virtues that other top notch studs do not possess I would forget about having him used at stud. 

The calibre of bitch owner you are likely to attract may not be very high, and you woudl not sish your boy to contribuyte to poorly bred or puppy farmed litters the members of whom are sold to anyone with the money and often once the novelty wears off end up in rescue in large numbers.

Morally you should be willingto help with the homing of nay pups that need rehoming sired by your dog, for their whole lives as in the best homes curcumstances can change.
