He can stud when he’s starting winning shows and/or working conpetitions.
He can stud after he’s been cleared for Bull Terrier genetic issues like Thyroid problems, deafness, Patella Luxation, Various heart ailments, etc. Generally, it’s recommended to wait until AT LEAST 2 years old to get final results on these kinds of tests. And, 3-5 generations need to be clear as well.
He can stud when you’ve been a member of the BTCA for at least 5 years, been involved with the showing and responsible breeding of the breed for at least 5 years, and can reasonably point of the flaws in your stud.
He can stud when at LEAST 3 judges familiar with the BT breed can evaluate him and declare him near standard and an asset to the breed.
If you aren’t planning on showing or competing the dog, then he’s probably not a breeding quality dog. If you didn’t buy him from someone who shows/competes (and wins), then he’s probably not a breeding quality dog. Remember, championships “lines” are virtually meaningless, AKC registration is virtually meaningless, and being “purebred” is virtually meaningless. The last thing the world needs are more Backyard breeders like “China” - the AKC & all breed parent clubs are expressly against them.
Join the BTCA, start showing him, get him cleared genetically, and then reconsider. http://www.btca.com/http://www.akc.org/breeders/resp_breedin…http://www.grca.org/acquiring.htm#breedi… (different breed but GREAT breeding info)http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/postit/s…

Only if you have his Pedigree Papers, health certificate, earned some points, meets all breed standards, you get a license to breed & the same for the dame to be.
If your dog has all of the above you are set to go.
Do you know how to breed using the Pedigree Papers? Using genetics & genetic grids to predict the out come? Are you prepared for selective breeding? Can you cull a litter to keep only the pups that meet requirements? Raise 2 or 3 of the best instead of raising the full litter, the best of the best survive?
Every breed has predispositions for specific illnesses & negative physical traits, do you know what they are for the Bull Terrier?
If you don’t have Pedigree Papers on him then he is probably pet quality and should not be bred. He may be everything that you claim but if you don’t know his genetic background you don’t know what faults he is predisposded to. He may carry a very strong negative gene for some fault and if you don’t know it, then you pass that negative gene to the next generation. That is why you need the papers.

i agree w/ first answer plus when he has been screened and cleared for common ailments of the breed.

Why is he such an exemplary bull terrier that he deserves to pass his genes on?
Or are you just looking to “get rich quick” by making puppies?
4-5 million dogs and cats are killed each and every year in the US alone because there aren’t enough homes for them.
Get your dog neutered. Don’t become part of the overpopulation problem.

I have an American Pit Bull Terrier and was told to wait until he was two.

All of the first girl’s answers plus when you know enough about dogs to have a clue about how old a dog should be before breeding.

yea hes ready to stud. just remember that it is his first time and he might need help to know what and how to do it. i just did that with my male who was 10 months and my female was 3 years old it took some time and a couple of times for him to get the hang of what and how to do it

You should research your dog’s lineage if you can. Whoever you got him from, ask about his parents and if he’s AKC registered that’ll help. Get him a full health checkup. If he’s a good candidate for breeding I’d say 2 years old is better than a year old.

I agree with the above answer.

No he is not ready untill he is atleast 1 years old at the least

He is ready to be stud out. They have to be 8 months old or older before AKC will register the litter. Don’t worry that people said your stud needs to win championships . I have two studs that never seen inside of a ring. But they are in good standing with AKC and very nice looking dogs. Vet Check the whole thing. So as long as you stud has a clear bill of heath from your vet you are good to go.
