Questions to ask before considering a dog breeding match

Important questions owners can discuss when evaluating a potential dog breeding match found through Goli.

By Goli

Health information matters

Ask about veterinary history, relevant health screening and any breed-specific testing that may be appropriate. Owner-provided profile information should not replace professional veterinary evaluation.

Discuss age, temperament and history

Owners should talk openly about each dog's age, temperament, reproductive history and any other facts that could affect a breeding decision.

Review pedigree and documentation directly

If pedigree, registration or genetic documentation is important to you, ask the other owner to provide it and verify it through the appropriate organization or professional source.

Treat Goli as the introduction

Goli can help owners discover one another and start a conversation. The final decision about whether breeding is appropriate remains with the owners and their veterinary or breeding professionals.
