I totally agree with Mardelin!
What you are doing is next to impossible. When we look for our stud and since we can only have usually one or two studs norm. we have to be especially picky. Top quality lines, researched the parents, and then buy him for show and show him in hopes he becomes a champion.
I have seen a few, and a very few for sale only because the breeders either had this dynamite new male coming up in rank or because the male was getting older. And they started at 5,000 for sale. I think they were already championed too. Which is really a good deal, but they are normally older - around 5 years of age or older). ANd I have only seen 2 in all my years.
Normally - we buy a show quality male and put forth the work, effort and cost of showing them. Yes, mine is also not available to the public as stud. I have asked to use others too - and yes it does cost, but should be worth it.
