lol hahahahaah Bad GSD, I didn't try to be an ass. To the original poster: You should be occupied enjoying your dog and yes you should keep on working him, breeding question is of no importance at this point of his life, there is a lot to be seen and learned. In 2 + years from now you should have an answer to your question. Even pups out of good lines might end up being shit worthy rather than breed worthy, so there would be no way to evaluate your dog at this age. And the more you worry about breeding the less you going to spend time enjoying and working your dog. BTW if you start to think of breeding him at this age you will end up breeding him weather he is of good quality or not, so don’t think about that now or at least till you have finish product in front of you. Once the right time will come please keep in mind that you might as well be messing with the future of this beautiful breed so judge him like you would hate himJ. So sorry if I was an ass at the beginning.

About health clearance, it matters also what clearances do the recent ancestors of the stud dog have.
For example, if only the stud himself is cleared but few or none of his ancesters were, then his clearance does not mean very much. There must be a momentum among owners for clearance against a certain disease to be useful.
My female has very good history of OFA H&E, so I have to disqualify (or place a big minus on) a few studs just because one grandparant has no OFA. I never want to breed down on OFA record.

His pedigree looks to be a mix of german working and german show lines, no american lines

Snaiper69,
I love my puppy very much and I take care of him and work with him everyday. I was mostly curious about his pedigree. I see your point about the breeding thing. I know that dogs should only be bred if they are going to better their species.

This puppy is adorable! Love him & care for him, & train him as though he will be a great sieger, & he will be, even if it is only in your heart. Don't worry about breeding him. Enjoy him! You are very lucky to have such a wonderful pup, with such an inquisitive expression---I bet he's very smart, too! Good luck to both of you! jh

I settle for maintaining a standard. Betterment sounds a bit lofty for every breeder. The use of an outstanding stud is a great part of maintaining a standard.
BTW, IMO a few truely superior studs is a major thrust for betterment of a breed. A prolific stud can sire a thousand pups in his life time, and his semen can even be frozen. May be some day eggs can be frozen.
Recently it has been confirmed that a major fraction of Mongolians are descendents of Gengis Kan, who had hundreds or more women in his harem. Strange thought but true.

Shogun84,
Is he fit for breeding?
Only time will tell, and the standard you wish to follow.
He's a fine looking pup, in time you will see what he's made of and how fit he is.
I'd say your off to a good start.
Moon's.
