Hello! Sorry if this post is a bit messy, english isn’t my mother tongue and the situation is a bit odd so hard to explain. I’ve got some questions about what kind of titling a male needs to be considered ethical enough to breed with him. Also, is it even wise to consider breeding with him at some point or am I delusional and should just give up? (I'm from France in case it might help in any ways)
Basically I’ve got a 7yo male purebred sheltie, both parents are titled + health tested. He hasn’t done much, no fault of his own. I got him when I was 14 and it wasn’t possible for me to do sports or shows with him. Now he’s scheduled to go to his first show in a few months. He’d be able to do 3 total shows right for when he turns about 8. His breeder saw him when he was ~2yo and said he was objectively very good conformation wise and no flaws of course. Obviously if his results are good enough, he’ll be health tested, and if it’s clear, would it be ok to breed with him?
For more info: This dog is just too nice it almost makes me feel bad he hasn't put some pups like him in the world, he’s got one of the best temperament I’ve ever came across, best trainability (very geared toward obedience naturally), and I’ll wait for the judge to speak on his confirmation, but seems to be a very solid contender.
I’ve got two other shelties from the same breeders and have been around the dogs from the breeders a lot when I was younger, we fell out of touch a while ago unfortunately, but he’s some of the best I’ve ever seen for sure.
The breeder was supposed to help me get him ready (showing and all) so she would be able to breed with him when he was younger, except I was not able to go back and see her due to personal unrelated issues.
