Stud dogs
All three rare retriever breeds that we have (CBR, CCR, NSDTR) have small genetic pools, which means, that almost every dog (male and female) is really valuable for the breed's diversity and health. However, it is fair to the breeds to exclude the dogs that have severe problems (health, character, breed standard etc. vise) asap, because the problem can be spread in a small gene pool pretty fast and can have bigger impact on the breed. Instead of the "problematic specimen" it is better to use the "non-problematic" sibling, but very carefully and not too often. Off course, honesty among each other (breeders, stud owners) and towards ourselves is crucial. Few of our dogs were excluded from the breeding pool (no litters from them, all neutered to be on the safe side of not spreading the genes). You can find them (and the reason why they were excluded) while browsing tab "our dogs".
Even if the breed has "big" gene pool, it is better not to use one stud dog too often, to avoid creating popular sire "syndrome", which can create huge problem for future of the breed, because not so important recessive problem becomes instantly bigger and hard to solve or even avoid. Therefore we try to choose stud dogs for which we hope will not be used too often. The same way we have set a limit for the number of litters/puppies sired by our stud dogs.
The dogs, that have health tests, character and work test(s), body evaluation and breeding license, if demanded from the county the dog lives in, etc. and became stud dogs, are listed on the photo links below.
