Unbelievable Hans's sire is still being used for stud!

Sunflowers · 03-14-2013, 07:01 PM

While doing a search for fun on the Internet, I came across this:
Upcoming Litters

And I thought he was retired!
That dog is almost 10 years old!

How old is too old?

Here's an older video (2008) of him gripping the sleeve --at 2:38

How cool is that?

males are typically bred until well, they aren't interested in anymore, if he's in good health, 10 years old for a male isn't to old to breed

That is wonderful news to me because I hope Hans lives a good, long and healthy life, and he seems to come from robust lines!

I will take a somewhat riskier breeding with an older male any day of the week over a younger one. That proven health history is just priceless.

Riskier in regards to semen quality...

Vala's sire was just shy of 12 when I bred Nike to him. I like to see the old boys still fertile and able to breed.

I believe Cayos H-Cayos av Xazziam was on the older side when he was bred as well (I think he may still be breeding?). I know he was on the older side when my friends male was born (Hunter) almost 2 years ago.

Could also be doing AI's....doesn't mean Hans' sire is getting overly exerted.

A stud can be bred even when he has passed away

That is really wonderful, but creepy and gross at the same time

I don't think that there is anything creepy or gross about it-it allows you to do a breeding that otherwise you would never have been able to do-I think it would be special
