could any one give me advice about studing my doodle.
jerry is now 9 months old and people tell me i should stud him.

whats is involved?
what age can you stud him?
how much do you charge?



any info would be great

Hi
i personally wouldnt what has your labradoodle got that is so much better than any other labradoodle for stud?
what blood lines is he from?
he will most likely lift his leg and pee everywhere may even be aggressive to other male dogs so male dogs will do anything to escape and mate an in season bitch they can smell them upto around 1 mile away
if you do want to go ahead with it get him hip and eye scored and go along to a few mating and see how it is all done and how it takes place

Hi jelly
at what age can a labradoodles be studed?and what is involved in eye and hip tests? is it expensive?

they can't be hip scored till after a year old depending on vets you are looking around maybe £180 maybe abit more
eye tests are around £40

Just wondering if you went ahead with studding Jerry?

Have thought about studding Alfie because as Jerry's brother he is such a fine looking dog.

Any thoughts?

We havent studded jerry yet, were going to wait until he's about two years ols first then were going to decide.

Last week he went into our bedroom and came out with my wifes large white teddy bear which she has had for years and he started to hump it !It was very funny but my wife wasnt impressed!

Alfie has not actually humped anything yet but is very interested in females.

I have fostered jelly, a white doodle, who must be nearly 9 months now and Alfie is very fond of her. Hoping she does not come in season yet as she may go back to her owner with chocolate- vanilla coloured doodles.

They would be very pretty but Jelly much too young to be a mum.

Cross that bridge when we come to it. Does anyone know when doodles come in season?

Im glad that you fostered one of jelly's dogs
I bet its nice having two doodle to play with!

Yes two doodles are so much fun, especially as they are both so young. Life is a constant romp for them

Hi,

We were at a puppy party tonight and the vet nurse was saying all bitches come into sean 5-6 months.

Jerry, I was also talking to someone the other day about the hip/eye scoring and he was saying that you will see the hip/eye scores with the pedigree lab/poodle, but with Labradoodles as they are a cross (all be it a beautiful one) the hip/eye score means very little are there are no parameters for judging whether they are good or not.

Hope that makes sense!

You can come and see my Rosie anytime-cause your boy is very hansome
