Advise on best working line stud selection - Page 1

Hi, I'm in the process of studying various working lines, researching some of the top WUSV winners, etc..

Looking for a stud with a highly successful pedigree, who is also titled or working dog, health screen, & known producer of healthy, stable temperament, great working drive puppies. My female is on the smaller side of the standard with dark sable coloring. Prefer a male that could add more size to the offspring & preserve / add to the darker coloration.
Also want the stud in the USA, would love if he was around the New England area.

My girl has excellent high working drives, is ball crazy, very friendly with people of all ages & other dogs.
She will have her elbows & hips OFA next month, but sure she will get good scores. We are working on obtaining her BH & SCH1 titles by this summer. Afterward I plan on breeding next year her, then begin working her in SAR.
This is my girl's pedigree with photo - http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/624998.html
I found some good studs on this site I'm considering, but want to do more research.
The breeder I purchased her from is also going to help me in the selection process. 

I have owned & worked GSD's in the past. I've produced a few litters before also, which I took great time & TLC in raising. All my puppies went into properly screened homes. I had puppy reuions yearly, kept in touch with each buyer, watch the dogs while their owners went on vacations, & took back any dog if the buyers found themselves in a tough position due to lifestyle changes. Offered behavior / training advise free to my buyers. 
Sadly also was the shoulder most cried on when our beloved puppy dogs past away after many years of loyality.
I'm not looking to become a large scale breeder, just love working with dogs & enriching peoples lives through them.   

If anyone can recommend a stud please let me know.  Thanks for any info you can provide.

Amazing pedigree on that girl.  

VERY nice pedigree. I have an Orry grand daughter. Her sire is Erri z Blatenskeho Zamku. I love the Czech dogs. Anyways as for a stud if you would like to email me I can give you some contact information of a few people that have VERY nice titled Czech males. If you want to go that route

Why do you want to become a "large scale breeder?"  What is your deffinition of "large scale?"

H'Doc v Rex Lupus Schh3,FH2 (100 pts), KKl-1,a-normal ZW 69 - solid black, handsome dog with high drives, great power in the gripwork, animated obedience and supurb tracking.  He is a good size boy and his puppies are looking fantastic.  He is located in CT.

V-Bandit v Wolfsheim Schh3,FH,KKl-1,a-normal ZW 75 - dark sable with black recessive and NO coat recessive - he produces puppies with a lot of bone, dark pigment, and super temperaments and drives.  He's a big boy and definately will improve bone and structure.  He has been bred to some top working and showline females in this country and in Germany.  his litter-brother V-Bomber v Wolfsheim is one of the most popular stud dogs being used in Germany now.  Bandit has an absolutely perfect temperament - social, stable nerve, yet extremely powerful in protection.    Bandit is located in central PA.

Well all I am going to add:

Good luck

Ummm... dude.... let me ask in a polite way... why are you lining up studs for a female that has not even gotten a title yet?  No offense, but this one web site alone has hundreds of dogs/puppies "for sale".  Of course you might perhaps believe that your female is breedworthy, but the attainment of a SchH title is not a real guarantee of breed-worthiness.

Never mind the fact that a hundred stud owners may offer their services for a nominal fee, your responsibility as an ethical breeder is to decide whether or not IF a breeding should take place at all AFTER your own dog has successfully achieved titles for breeding.  Again,  not every dog that has a SchH title slapped behind its name is "breed worthy"!

Please consider finding a SchH club near you and training so that you may earn titles and appreciate the characteristics necessary of a working dog prior to breeding.

Oh I don't particularly agree with that. I know several pointless dogs that have Sch titles. And many terrific ones.
