Once the dog is registered with the AKC, what would you recommend
doing?

Get him a companion from a rescue like Coastal GSD rescue. The dog
will be spayed so you don't have to worry about adding to the number
of dogs without homes. He will have a full life. Another great dog
will find a good home with you and your dog. No puppies will have to
pay for being brought into a world that already has too many GSD's.
You won't have to worry about health and temperament testing your dog
and the female and you won't have to worry about what to do with
puppies that people may not want to take off your hands or adolescent
dogs that they want to give back to you. It sounds like you have been
a great owner, with training and all. Adopt another GSD and give her
that kind of a great home!
