hi
i have a white 9month old staffie i was thinking of using him as a stud dog until i read that it would change his personality the only problem i have is that the breeder whom i got him off has a free stud is the norm?and if i let him breed him then take him 4 the snip would that be bad 4 him after he had a taste you no what i mean.i really would like him to have pups to follow the line on HELP

theres millions of them - also millions in rescue ................................................ :(

If your breeder puts conditions like this on dogs she sells, and then 'claims' it without your dog having done any winning in the show ring, then I would question their motives and their comitment towards bettering the breed.  Yes, having had a bitch, your dogs behaviour may well change, and Staffies aren't known for being same sex tolerant.  Even castration afterwards may not stop his sexually orientated behaviour.

Ofcouse, if you get him castrated BEFORE  the breeder wants to use him...........

By using him at stud once it is as likely to change his behaviour as by him having a long term stud career.Having him castrated AFTER hes been used will not change his behaviour back.Can I suggest you read the first post on the breeding board

well if you are really againt the idea then i would get him done asap and say he had something worng with 1 of them.  like it did not drop and the vet said it have to done, 

and i am going though a dog that has been used at stud and a bitch in season now and i have to sleep down with the dog to stop him howling all night.

i think i slept about 2 hours lasnight :(

You could always say he had an accident...I don't know....jumped a fence and badly caught his testicles and the vet said the damage meant they needed removing? Bit 'lame' but no one could prove otherwise

Frankly there should be no lying about it, if you bought the dog outright with no breeding terms, then simply say you wouod rather not have him used.  If he was bought on breeding terms (where tyou pay a reduced amount for breeding rights of some description) then it is unfair to try to wriggle out of the arrangement, but if you now feel differently than you did at time of purchase then pay the breeder the balnace due on the dog.

If the breeder is a reputable one I am sure they will understand, even if they are disappointed to loose a part of theri breed lines they had hoped to retain.

Let's face it - how many of these post sales 'conditions' clauses are inforcible?  Dogs are looked on as property by law, and once you've bought it, you can do what you like with it.  Ofcourse most responsible breeders would hope the owner would contact them if they needed to rehome the dog - but they can't enforce it by law, and the same goes for breeding terms  IIRC.
