I have a weird question?
If you take a male GSD that does not want to work and you find a female GSD that does wants to work and has very good prey-drive; but let say this male GSD that does not want to work but his Sire did and had a good prey-drive.
If you breed working dog with none-working dog together what will the outcome be for the offspring pups?
Edit: My female has a good prey-drive

There would be a lot of confusion i guess... lol.
On a serious note, i guess there is more to breeding than just a generation here and there. Probably smone with more experience would be in a better position to elaborate on the same.

...quite hard to answer. of course, it's better if both sire and dam and their ancestors are good workers.
however, the mother and her working ability counts more than the father's. this is my experience.....
but to be honest: i would not want a puppy from a father who doesn't want to work.....why don't you choose another stud dog?

Think about this and see if it makes sense. You are most likely to get what you want when you start with something close to what you want in the beginning. You can get something you want starting with something you don't want knowing what you want is in there somewhere. It's a matter of odds.

Why breed to male who has no notable drives or work ethic when there are so many studs out there to choose from?

Could you explain more ?
I'am trying to make a decision on the stud male :) whether male has to have working ability or NOT but I guess it will be better if a he does.

This is an interesting query. However, it would be important to know what drives the male in question does have. As for the reason to breed such a male, I believe tha answer would be: PEDIGREE... There have been a lot of great dgs in the past that are known for having "lazy" offspring, soft ears, etc. Breeding is a complex subject and I don't think I'm the best to give advice on it.
Going back to the male: He seems to have a low prey drive. Fine. How about defense drive? How is his tracking? Are any of these redeeming qualities sufficient to overcome breeding him in spite of his low prey drive?

This Male GSD has very good pedigree - bloodline is SCH3 KKL1.
His defense drive is outstanding, tracking is not great but not horrible either.
My concern is low prey drive, I shouldn't have no issues for breeding I would assume. His father was good! and mother as well............But I could always find better stud male :)

"If you breed working dog with none-working dog together what will the outcome be for the offspring pups?"
The answer to your question is - it's impossible to tell with any degree of certainty what the outcome will be.
Puppies are a ganble even when you pair 2 world class best of the best outstanding dogs, let alone dogs in your question.
