ONE puppy for a stud dog? That's not a trade that's a complete rip off, without even getting into why it's such a bad idea...

Hello GSD Daly,
You can place a Wanted classified ad to meet breeders/owners/ and or clubs in your area. Also search the classifieds for listings in your area. People do make trades, but that is most often because they know each other and the bloodlines or have seen these dogs at trials or shows.

I am wanting to trade one of my dogs puppy's for a male dog that can be her permanent stud next time she goes in heat. The male dog has to be a purebred German Shepherd Dog. He has to be registered, and have a good bloodline. Please let me know if you have anything.

GSD Daly,
Are you talking about wanting to breed your female, that is not even a year old, next time she comes in heat? If this is the female that is on your website.... she has a D.O.B of 11/8/2013.

If this is the case, then you are asking a PUPPY to raise a litter... this is not fair or ethical to do to your female. Not to mention how do you know what lines would cross well with her.. Breeding is more that putting a male and female together and letting nature to do the rest. She is still young and is not mentally or physically mature. You should wait until she is at LEAST 2 years old so that you can do some health testing on her. For example the BARE MINIMUM of OFA on her hips and elbows.. And hopefully more.. such as DM, Back, Thyroid, etc.
In waiting until your female is at least 2 years old will give you time to work her. See what her strenghts and weaknesses are.... then you will need to do some research and find a male that will complement her. If you can not or do not want to do IPO with her (which would be ideal) then at least you should... Do some AKC or UKC obedience.. some tracking... agility...herding...PSA... Anything that will let you and other people evaluate her to see what her drive levels are, temperment, nerve, etc.
This site is FULL of people that CARE VERY MUCH about the German Shepherd. If I was you I would do ALOT more research than you have and start picking some brains on this site. As well as geting out to a club and alot of shows and trials. Like I said, this site is full of knowledgable people.. some people are out spoken, some a little odd, some can be very dry, and some can come off a little rude... but at the end of the day the goal is the same... we ALL CARE about this breed.
Good luck in your research!

I want to add, since you mentioned training the male as a service dog.
Do you know that not every dog can do that? You need to know what the temparement is and how they deal with people and other dogs, and heavy, loud, stressfull distractions and people attempting to touch them or worse step on, run over them with carts, kick them, and any number of other things that can happen in public. My SD has had her feet stepped on, palats dropped behind us, (scared the crap out of me but she just looked, then she moved me so I could calm down) people have kicked at her, swung their purses at her, screamed at her, being a SD is not for every temperament.
You also have to know, if they are doing any kind of bracing and mobility assistance, if they can support your weight, and that means they need to be the right height and weight in comparison to your height and weight. If they are too small you will hurt them. So with that you must also know what their skeletal structure is, which means health testing. If they have a bad back, hips, elbows, you can't use them for support.
Having a real service dog means thousands of hours of training and bonding and tears. It means knowing and understanding ADA law and not just making stuff up as you go along, ADA law if you are in the US or your country's laws regarding the use of a service dog.
If the dog is for any kind of psychiatric service, the dog needs to really be stable as they are your lifeline. If I break down in public I would be screwed if my girl didn't either alert me to it before it happens or drag my frozen butt out of the situation. They need to have intelligent disobedience. They need to have great problem solving skills. So, along with agreeing with what others have said, I felt the need to add this so you understand the need for asking for temperament and health for this male. Good luck!
