Breeding Standard: Our Sire Selection

Because a sire shapes an entire breeding program exponentially more than a single dam, our standard for our males is uncompromising. A Guesshaus stud dog must be more than a pedigree on paper—he must prove himself in the ring, under multiple judges, against the highest standards of the breed.

To stand at stud at Guesshaus, our males must:

  • Achieve Grand Champion Status: Earning a Grand Championship in AKC conformation is our baseline requirement, proving structural integrity, breed type, and physical endurance under intense scrutiny.

  • Exemplify the Standard in Motion: Impeccable, effortless gait and structural soundness are non-negotiable.

  • Deliver the Blueprint: Outstanding head type, undeniable strength of character, rock-solid stable temperament, and high biddability.

  • Complement and Correct: A true stud must bring genetic power to the table—actively reinforcing structural strengths and intentionally balancing any traits a female partner may lack.

When you breed to a Guesshaus male, you are investing in generations of predictable, structurally sound, and mentally bulletproof temperament.
