Male breeding dogs have
a profound influence on
their breed.
Whereas a female can be
expected to produce at
best, 80 to a hundred
puppies throughout her
lifetime, a male can
produce many hundreds,
and even thousands of
offspring if given the
opportunity.
Add
to this, the current
modern trend to freeze
semen, which can be used
long after the dog is
unavailable or
geographically difficult
to use and it's
easy to see why Stud
Dogs need to be chosen
with utmost care and a
good working knowledge
of their ancestry as a
guide to what they
produce when bred with
certain other bloodlines.

A Stud male animal of
any species is
judged on his
pre-potency, which means
that not only must he
exhibit the best
phoenetic traits himself,
(physical appearance) but he should also
demonstrate his genetic
pre-potence, that is the ability
to pass along his own
positive traits to his progeny
over a diverse female
population.
Rutland Manor
Breeding Dogs are
Health
Screened, and DNA
Profiled. Rutland
Manor does not inbreed
nor heavily linebreed.
This is often done in the pursuit of
pre-potency in ' pure
' dog breeds, in which an
inbreeding co-efficient
of 30% is considered to
be
perfectly acceptable.
RUTLAND MANOR has
a self imposed benchmark
of a maximum of
10% and more
usually between 1% and
3% and has achieved this
via carefully selected
outcross infusions at
appropriate intervals
over twenty plus years.

Selected Breeding Stock Available
Soon
Each couple of
years, as youngsters approach
breeding age, some of their young
parents become available to other
breeders. This time is now
approaching again to make way for
the up and coming youngsters to
continue the Rutland Manor
tradition. If you are a caring
and conscientious breeder and
willing to desex your pet puppies
before they leave you, please feel
welcome to make inquiries regarding
proven young breeding dogs for your
own program. |
