Hello- I need some help. I have a female working line shepherd I think.
I would love for someone to take a look at her parents pedigrees and tell me what you think.

Here is the my breeder/trainer site.

Sofie, my female, is the most brilliant,loving (in her own way), focused, intense dog I have ever owned. We have so much fun. She loves showing off. She's defiant and bossy at times. She is a natural born tracker and loves to work. I really enjoy doing things with her. When we are at the dog park, she has absolutely NO interest in any other dog or person. She just wants me to throw the frisbee and bring it back to me- she really would do that until she dropped. I have to stop and make her take a break!!
I want another male gsd and have some options and here is where I am not sure. I keep bouncing back and forth.
My breeder has a little due in 3 1/2 weeks. He said that I would for sure have a male out of the litter.
The other breeder. Keystonegermanshepherds.com has what they call Heidelberg shepherds. I went to see them yesterday and was intrigued by their overall balanced temperament. seemed confident and interested in me. Unlike sofie who is not interested in anyone but me, really.
However, they have longer hair (plush?) they have a long haired gsd in their breeding stock,and can weigh over 100lb's. There might be a possibility that I would even get a long coated gsd, which I am not partial too. He said that if the dogs live indoors most of the year they coat would be slightly different due to how it comes in.
I asked him about drive and such and he said that he would have to match the dog to the prospective owner. Understandable.
and one more.
windridgek9.com has some great looking dogs I have seen one of the males at camp bow wow and he is handsome, lovable-showering me with kisses (sofie isn't into licking). The dogs here are much more expensive for what I am wanting $1500.00, if I wanted to show etc.. I could understand. but am willing to pay for the right dog.
Anyhow- what are your opinions on sofie's pedigree. and the other two options.
Thank you, thank you for any feedback.
