Bogie my beloved male unfixed basset is getting older, really I am sure he has happily lived past his normal life span, and I am thinking about breeding him to have him live on through his pup. He is healthy and goes on long walks without getting winded and seems highly interested in females. I gave away the two litters he did produce and have lost touch with the people that I gave the puppies to. The last litter was over six years ago. Anyway my question is; is bogie too old to father pups? He is between ten and thirteen years of age (I lost his pedigree papers and the breeders left the area after being chased away by police).
Anyway, sadly they were puppy mill people of the worst kind, and had me meet them at a dairy queen took my 300 dollars and quickly handed bogie and his paper work to me. (he was near crippled unknown to me until I got him home. The vet said it appeared to be caused by being raised in a too small cage for a long period of time and he seemed to have psychological problems from being abused, happily all fixed with a years of TLC.
So, as I said I would really, really like a pup from him, even though I feel guilty not doing a rescue. Lastly is there anyway to retrieve his AKC paperwork? I lost it years ago. I do know the last name of the breeders and their last known address. Thanks in advance for any assistance you guys can render.
