Hachi is 10 months old and i was just debating on breeding him or not.
I would love to have one of his puppies b4 he gets old. He is not registered and neither was his parents. But im 100% positive that he is purebred no doubts there and i seen papers of were the parents where bought at. Would it be hard for me to stud him out b4 he turns 2?!?!? I heard from a local breeder/trainer that after so long that male dogs become sterile. Is that true!?!?

I have 2 gorgeous dogs that are wonderful with people, kids, cats and other dogs.
They are smart, well behaved and great dogs but I will never breed them. There are too many puppies/dogs in the world already that are being put to sleep everyday because there are not enough homes for them all and my dogs are not from amazing bloodlines and do not have anything fantastic to contribute to the German Shepherd breed. They are just my very much loved pets.

I agree with the others about the flow chart. Dogs as old at ten stud with no problem. Th person that told you that does not know enough to be breeding dogs. Most never start breeding before age 2 in the us, because that is when you can get the medical tests to predetermine eligibility for breeding criteria to be met.

In a perfect world, there would be no such thing as unwanted pets, but sadly, the shelters and rescues are FULL of German Shepherds, yes, purebreds. Breeding adds to the population of dogs, so if you're going to do it, there had better be a darn good reason. If your dog isn't even registered, you don't know his bloodlines, so how could you even begin to know what bloodlines would go well with his? That right there is reason enough not to breed.

Plus anyone with a breed worthy female would never look twice at a second generation unregistered dog. So that leaves you breeding him to someone who has a mediocre female at best, which will generally mean you will get less than stellar pups with no papers that the owner of the female will have to try to sell, just so you could get one pup?
