yes and no, i know you have good intentions................however this will be utilized by people who think they are going to get rich quick on breeding and selling backyard bred puppies. However if you want to educate the public how to find reputable breeders rather than backyard breeders you can refer them to AKC breeder referral, the GSDCA website ads, and local kennel clubs and maybe a list of criteria when looking that would give them good indications that a breeder is reputable rather than the usual newspaper ads that say champion large bone puppies, when in actuality the pup has one champion 5 generations back and two dogs were thrown together just to make a quick buck with no thoughts and research of health and bloodlines etc. . But teaching people how to sell their GSD pups will invite backyard breeders to use all the same tools as reputable breeders and will be very hard to tell reputable from the scam artist. Frankly anyone reputable should have a following, sell puppies by others buyers referrals and have a waiting list for well bred puppies. I'm sorry Cyndy I may be just reading you wrong. I know your intentions are good.
