Choosing the Right Sire by Carmen L Battaglia

Abstract: Picking a stud dog takes careful consideration of the males strengths, the female’s weaknesses, pedigree background, and how the two will balance. Not all top males will be top producers, so it is important to study their offspring. Avoid popular studs, as their overuse narrows the gene pool and exaggerates their negative (as well as positive) qualities.
