Breeder Recommendations
I have had a request for breeder recommendations for someone in North Central FL who is also able to travel or have a puppy shipped. I’ve been doing a bit of digging around looking for reputable breeders in that area, anyone have feedback on these or know of others they can recommend? Looking for more working lines over show lines. (I included some show line breeders that also breed for workability)

Also, this is generally what I go by looking for reputable breeders taken from workingdogs.com
Parents are over 2 years of age. Breeding earlier is not in the best interests of the dogs or puppies. Usually both parents are not on the premises because the breeder is the owner of the dam, but photos and/or videos of the sire should be available as should be his pedigree and health information.
The parents' hips and elbows have been x-rayed and certified good to excellent by Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA), PennHip, or the German Verein fur Deutsche Schaferhunde (SV). The SV at present does not require elbows to be examined for breeding stock, but may in the future.
Parents must have current registrations with AKC, SV (through USA, United Schutzhund Clubs of America), CKC.
Parents must be approachable, neither shy nor aggressive. Excuses for poor temperament should not be accepted. Temperament can be genetic in nature and fixed in the pups by modeling by the parents.
Clean dog runs or kennel areas with adequate space for exercise and play.
Clear, communicable goals for breeding this litter.
Working titles on parents - Schutzhund, obedience, or other working titles.
As I don’t have any experience with the breeders I mentioned I would recommend doing further research on them and seeing their dogs in person if possible. Any followers from FL that can recommend breeders?
