Modules of consultations
We will meet during a settled period of time (usually 1–2 months) at an online meetings (45 min) where we will follow my tried formula and tailor all your questions. Our meetings will have the following schedule of modules:
01
Breeding goal
I will help you with understanding of each trait element of health, structure, character and working abilities, how to find it out and why it is important. But the Breeding goal is yours to set - each breeder has its unique one. We will do it by prioritizing those chosen elements, which will help you to get a clear vision in your breeding. It's a base case for choosing a stud dog.
02
Understanding your female
By analysing your female, we will get a better picture of what we will need to search for. You will have to be honest in this step. I will again help you will all these elements. And in this step I will add some probabilities calculated by my software - for this I will need input information about the female, if I don't have them yet. This step can take me some time because of big calculations.
03
Designing litter parameters
In this step, we will put together all the info from your breeding goal and from analysis of your female. I will help you with basic parameters you need to set, and based on those you can start your hunt for the perfect stud dog for your plans.
04
Analysing stud dogs
When you will have your stud dogs, you should again do the analysis of important elements and I will help you with this. On my side there will be to provide values from my calculations - and again this can take some time and I will need input values.*
05
Evaluation of genetic numbers and traits
In the last step we will go through all the available options, genetic numbers and probabilities, and you will get comment for each combination, what it could bring into your breeding. I can answer all your genetic questions, but the choice of which combination to choose will be only yours - I will not answer "which one would you chose" questions, because these we do only by ourselves - under our kennel names. This information will provide you clear insight on which stud dog is a match for your breeding plans.
* If you will need to reconsider your picked dogs (there are 3 dogs included in the package) and would like to add more or will need more consultations, it is of course possible to add.
What is included?

-
Genetic guidelines and rules

What is NOT included?
-
Fortune-telling - genetics is about probability, even though we will do everything possible and use all available tests and estimates, there is no 100% guarantee
-
Me telling you if you should or should not breed your female and which stud dog to choose - those are very personal decisions and this is how we leave our signatures via our kennel names
Available options
Currently, there are two available options for cooperation with me. The difference between them is the use of so called EBVs (Estimating Breeding Values). Obtaining those values require a lot of time and software capacity, and therefore it is not the cheapest process. But it is currently the only way how to estimate a genetic background of each dog for complex heritable diseases like dysplasia, OCD and epilepsy.
