It sounds to me that you just want to jump into the breeding part without doing the ground work. Go to shows, show your dogs, have them evaluated and health screened. Show your 2 lb stud. Then with a mature eye, evaluate that stud. Will he actually produce better than himself or do any improvments to your breeding plan? Champion lines do not always mean quality or soundness.
Well, good luck in your breeding program!

:yeah that:
