About The Stud Dog

The premier marketplace for finding AKC registered, health-tested stud dogs by breed, location, coat color, and genetic testing.

Our Mission

The Stud Dog exists to make responsible breeding easier. Finding a quality stud dog — one that is health-tested, genetically sound, and properly registered — has traditionally been a slow, word-of-mouth process. We built a searchable, transparent marketplace where dam owners can find the right stud and stud owners can reach serious, qualified breeders.

What Makes Us Different

• Health Testing First — OFA hip, elbow, eye (CAER), cardiac, and DNA panel filters
• Advanced Genetics Search — filter by coat color loci (E, B, K, A locus, merle)
• Registration Verified — search by AKC, CKC, UKC, ABKC, ASDR, and more
• StudMatch Tool — calculate predicted litter color outcomes
• Education Library — guides on genetics, health clearances, and breeding contracts
• Direct Connection — contact stud owners directly, no middlemen

Free to Search

Searching and contacting stud owners is completely free. Dam owners pay nothing to browse listings, use the StudMatch tool, or contact breeders directly.
