I'm not rushing things along with him just to make some quick money so I can pay for an expensive puppy.

Most people would be happy to know that they have 13 people in advance willing to take a puppy let alone 63 people. I wouldn't even consider some of those 63 people for one of my puppies. When he is ready to be bred I will decide in advance who gets a puppy. When you have 63 prospective homes it is pretty easy to place a litter into great homes, not just homes.

I consider the $5000 only a partial risk. Just about everything bred from Neubrand dogs turns out to be a nice dog and worth it's price.

USRC Preident Andreas Mueller once told me that beautiful puppies never grow up to be ugly dogs. And ugly pups don't turn into beautiful dogs. If someone is asking $5000 for a puppy you can bet your money they are beautiful puppies

OK, why do you think your present dog should be bred? This is making less and less sense to me. So is the breeder only charging 5 grand for the "beautiful" pups? Beautiful for a puppy is kind of subjective, ain't it? Besides, if you want the new pup to "possibly" reach it's potential, you should be placing just as much importance on the "working" possibilities of the pup..and what have you done on the working aspect with any pup before? Also, I don't give much credit to the UCI CH titles...Just my opinion, but I think the UCI is kind of bogus.
