 
Strong females are the main building blocks of every successful breeding program, and their quality should be the main focus of every breeder, but a female can only produce so many puppies in her lifetime, compared to a male. In Germany, by SV rules, each German Shepherd stud dog is allowed to have a maximum of 90 breedings per year (60 German / 30 foreign). With an average litter size of 5-6 puppies, this can be around 500 puppies per year.
This is why it makes sense that only the best males should be bred and pass their positive traits on to future generations. One should choose from the best and improve on the quality of the puppies produced. This is why we strive to achieve excellence in our males even more than in our females. Strong type, courage and attitude, great structure and movement, large bone and excellent pigment are the main attributes that we focus on in our German Shepherd males.
