@DebraDownSouth:
You say you have other dogs… care to share their registered names? You were asked this before, on the "Can anyone recommend" thread, yet never responded.
Not sure why you wouldn't research blood lines, decide on a few breeders, have your name on a list and wait to get the line you want.
And why is "excellent" hips so critical? Good and even fair have as good of chance of having clear hip pups as long as their LITTER MATES are also mostly clear. Are your bitches clear? You cannot, you know, compensate for bad hips with good ones.
I am also curious that you said new, not quite a year ago, when you posted you had one and a new litter. Is the 2nd one of those pups?

I have my WW bitch Ahmahr Nahr Just Call Me Madam and 4 of her daughters. One from last year with WW Ahmahr Nahr Jake Jamuel To Mibre. 3 from this year with BISS BIS Sonbar Sonic Shockwave RA. All my girls are fanconi clear. I would prefer to stay with a clear male (just personal preference).
I want excellent hips because Madam is fair so it is very important to me to go towards producing excellent hips in the future. I want to strive to find a stud prospect who will come from stock that is A+ healthwise all around so I can improve on what I have. I want to go towards producing A+ everything, not just good if I can help it. There is nothing wrong with good. Good is great!!!! I just want to stick to A+ instead of A if I can help it. I do realise it is hard to find but I want to give it a try. If I don't find anything I will just convince her to go the the excellent all around male I found.
I understand about going on a waiting list. I am doing my personal research don't worry and I am not in a rush. I pretty much already found a stud to use in the near future that is A+ all around. I am still keeping my eyes open though to all possible options.
However my co-owner wants to have a male at her house because she does not like to send her females out anywhere. So I thought I would help her find something nice to hold-on to. If it is nice enough I might use it in the future. But I am doing this mostly for her right now.
She keeps finding her own but they are not of the quality she should get so I am trying to knock some sense into her and tell her to waite and let me help her find something REALLY nice all around. I am also trying to prevent her from making a mistake and buy something she might regret.
So again I know all about the fact that going on a waiting list is a great thing but I thought I might try to see if anyone from the global village might have something promissing first. If you don't try you will never know.
Health and type is more important to me than a specific bloodline at this point. I don't mind outcrossing to something of a certain type I am trying to set.
