Breeding GSDs

So you think I am stupid. I have a magnificent Olderhill male GSD that I would like to breed with my bitch. She is a healthy,strong dog. She will obviously be x-rayed. Do you really think that Kusa reg and tatoos make a difference. I have seen many of these animals with back, hip and other serious faults. Personally I would rather have a strong even tempered dog bred on a farm even if there is no pedigree from 1910. Highly overbred dogs often cause much heartache when things go wrong.

Do we need to breed more dogs? Judging by the number of animals requiring homes at the SPCA and other animal shelters I would have thought selecting an animal from these institutions would help decrease the number of animals put to sleep unnecessarily, rather than breeding more. Most often a cat ot bitch will have more than one offspring and then homes need to be found for the rest. Please consider adoption before breeding more.
