On the original post most not all breed because of the blood,some breed for marking and other breeding are done just because they have a male and female! dig deeper into any line off hounds that your interested in! Also try to reframe from asking questions that May have you looked at as a green horn! Nothing wrong with it in my eyes I have had dog all of 30 plus years and I'm always learning something new! bottom line is your the owner are the deciding factor of what a stud dog is!
In the non-dog world if a person says that a dog is "full-blooded" (one of my favorite terms, I mean is the half full of blood based on his parents lineage?) In the non-dog world full-blooded and 'having papers' is an automatic qualifier to be a stud dog. It goes from there all the way to people who do it professionally who can say this is a stud dog and he has produced this trait to this many puppies off this many bitches. And anywhere in between.
As a person looking to pay a stud fee you have every right to ask whatever question you feel fit because it is your money you are spending. Whether those questions are legitimate, stupid, educated, or with legal repercussions down the road. It is your money and it is your right to ask anything you choose.
With that said, the owner of the stud dog in response to your question has every right to hang up (it is his phone), tell you to get F*&^%$. (he has rights too) or not answer any questions about his stud dog because it his dog and his business.
It is a give and take situation. If a guy really wants to breed to said dog he has to educate himself on that dog as much as he possibly can and approach the owner with some common sense. I mean it is not like these dogs are the same as selling Girl Scout cookies.
If a guy puts a stud dog out there he has to expect an occasional retard to call, and at times the dumbasses will out number the educated. It sways both ways. If it is such a bother then don't put him out there. Keep him to yourself/your close (close)circle and make everyone else jealous.
Last week a friend of mine advertised his Bantam roosters for sale on our local "Tradio-Radio". Some young kid has called him twenty times in the past week wanted to know if he still had cocks for sale? How big is the cock? How long is the cock? What size cock-ring would be needed? Juvenile, to say the least, but he put his phone number out there. There are certain risks involved.
So when something is advertised on the internet I would expect a certain percentage of, let's say fruitless calls.
I inherited a Honeybunch bred male. I offered him for stud as well. My worse calls are when I choose not to do it for puppies. Lots of people take offense as it is taken as a slight on their bitch. The stud dog deal is a double edged sword, but it is the best and cheapest way to improve a persons yard.
Rambling again, waiting on tanks to pump out. EWO
Thanks EWO for responding to the post like a gentlemen..
Jack and EVO hit the nail on the head!

EWO!
I thought this was closed? I would like to change the question up some so that this post can be used to help out others. So here we go..... As far as stud dogs go. When looking for a stud dog to improve your yard, no matter if the stud is on or off your yard what are something's you look for in a stud dog. Now I'm guessing that we all do breedings to improve what we are feeding. And since we all breed and raise dogs for different traits there should be a range of different answers? On top of this let's say that everyone does things in the right way when looking for a stud off of their own yard. Now the right way can be the way you would go about it and that's fine but the way you seek out a stud is not the question so how you would contact doesn't have to be included in the answer. So again the question is when seeking out a stud dog that you breed own or off your yard what traits, percentages,camp, etc.... Do you look for to improve what your doing with your dogs?
No one has nothing at all
