Description and Pertinent Information
It has always been my intention to provide as much
information about my stud dogs as possible so that breeders can be informed and
make wise decisions. Please keep in mind that while I have attempted to be
objective, this is just one woman’s opinion.
So, here is everything I know about Oliver:
He is right at 16”. He is
CERF normal, VWD normal, thyroid normal and OFA excellent.
He is a deep golden red with full white markings and blaze and is white
factored. He is high on leg and very
statuesque. He is an agile and
athletic dog who is very masculine in appearance.
He finished easily with 4 majors including two specialties, two specialty
reserves and two Best in Sweepstakes.
Oliver has a nice round muzzle complete with plush hair. He is nicely
filled under the eyes and no veininess. I
would clean up his lip line. He is a bit deep for me in profile.
His skull is reasonably clean on the sides.
It could be slightly flatter on the frontal bone. My personal preference
is for a lighter more refined head type but then I like a smaller dog.
He has nice, well set natural ears. His
eye is nicely shaped and his expression pretty but not exquisite.
He is missing one pre molar. At this point it appears that most of his
puppies are similar to Oliver in body. In head they look more like each
other than him (see offspring photos).
He has a lovely outline and topline and a long tail.
He has a strong rear and a decent shoulder.
Nice straight front legs and a reasonably deep chest.
Feet are well shaped. He is
clean both coming and going and extends quite nicely from the side.
Oliver had a nice coat as a puppy. He,
to date has not had much adult coat. He
has just turned three and appears to be coating up.
There is coat on both sides of his pedigree so I anticipate that he will
have a good coat when he matures.
He is an excellent show dog and has never really shown any fear.
He appears to have no noise sensitivity.
He is non dog aggressive and plays with dogs and puppies of all sexes and
ages. Though normally a gentle soul,
Oliver has barrier aggressiveness and goes after anything on the other side of a
fence or exercise pen. He was
quite a chewer as a puppy but has since gotten over that.
He is well mannered and
totally clean in the house. Oliver is affectionate on his own terms but not
particularly demonstrative and not needy.
He is sensible and easy to have around.
He breeds a bitch, has his dinner and takes a nap.
He is an aggressive stud dog and breeds most bitches naturally.
In one of his early litters there was a puppy diagnosed with DM.
Some of my vets question this as the lesions were not bi lateral and
confined mainly to the belly and anus area.
It was however, punch biopsied and confirmed so you should be aware of
this. We have since found out that the Puppy's Dam's double grand-sire was recently
diagnosed with DM.
He seems to be making puppies with longer clean, lean heads, lovely
expressions and great outlines. Most
seem to have his showy temperament and carriage.
I have yet to see a bad rear from him.
Rears and fronts are generally good but I have seen variation there.
The quality seems to be very good. The
best one’s are exceptional. I believe we may lose puppies due to size but when
he hits it they seem to be really good rather than just finishable.
Some of his get are pictured on this website.
He also has a daughter who at her first two shows took the breed over
specials. A son took winners and
reserve in his first outings. Both of these were 7 months old. Another
son was recently pointed as a puppy. He just turned three so as more of a pattern emerges in his producing
tendencies I will update this page.
Oliver's stud fee is $600. $250
is due at the time of breeding and the balance of $350 due when the bitch whelps.
If there is only one puppy, a balance of $175 is due.
Shipping is to
Detroit
Metro
Airport
. Most major airlines have service
here. I am able to go the
Windsor
Airport
for Canadian bitches. Though we
have not yet done this I have a vet who is able to do chilled semen.
I am aware there is some concern over my show schedule but we have never had
any difficulty accommodating bitches for stud dogs we have had here.
Our conception rate is high.
