Finding a German Shepherd stud dog: what should you look for?
- German Shepherds are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia, so ensure the stud has been screened for these hereditary diseases
- An ideal German Shepherd should be a good specimen of the breed, demonstrating strength with a muscular physique
- Show dogs of this breed differ from working dogs – ensure you choose a stud that complements the bitch
- As a general rule, it’s advisable to wait until the stud is over two years old
- A German Shepherd shouldn’t be timid – try to choose a stud with confidence and alertness
What are the average fees for a German Shepherd stud?

Three tips for finding a German Shepherd stud:
- An experienced stud will have successfully sired litters previously, so enquire about the stud’s mating history
- Ask to see the sire’s Kennel Club registration documentation
- German Shepherd studs remain fertile until around 10 years old, so don’t be afraid to choose a slightly older dog
