The breeding thing is more DH's idea than mine. He knows a retired cop with a west german female that they would like to breed one time. There's no lack of good homes for quality GSDs. In reality it'll probably never happen.
Without starting up the whole spay/neuter debate again, the people that get all up in arms don't seem to understand that it's not people who are breeding responsibly that are causing the overcrowding in the shelters. It's the ignoramases that have a dozen unaltered dogs in their backyard, male and female and they don't even realize that pups are due until they arrive.
We pretty much take better care of these two dogs than we do ourselves.
The GSD forum gave me a hard time about not planning to "work" our boys when they are older; i.e., they aren't going to do S&R, or obedience, showing or anything else, though I know without a doubt that Jax would excel at S&R. They are going to be farm dogs, my friends, companions and protection when DH is working. That's their jobs. They get plenty of exercise on this farm to keep them outta mischief.
So we'll wait and see what happens with Kane's ears.
