I'm curious as to what tests stud owners do on their males prior to breeding.  I know that many stud owners require brucellosis and often vaginal cultures of the female and sometimes more extensive cultures but I don't think that many studs are tested routinely for anything except brucellosis.  I would appreciate any comments stud owners might have.

i dont have a male any more but when i did , i require test for brucella,VC and mycoplasma, the male should be tested for brucella and mycoplama and a semein check is also a good idea.

In the UK we often check males for Haemophilia A.

This is not so much a "pre mating" thing as a general
health test;  but I would not want to use a dog at stud
that had not been blood-tested for Haemo.

DM might be a good idea so as to not double up on carriers or at risks. Hips, elbows, at the least a cardiac exam done by a veterinary cardiologist.
