Southern Prides Hight Voltage. One of Suzan Shipp's dogs. He will be two years old next month. As far as I know the only health testing he has had is for vWD. We know that he can't be OFA certified because he isn't old enough yet.
I remember in another thread you stated he is preparing for his SchI. I guess I could say my puppy is also preparing for his SchI. Whether he will ever get it is problematic. The sire of your litter failed one or two temperament evaluations at the UDC National. He doesn't have any titles except the virtually meaningless "Intlch", his owner doesn't show in the AKC.
All in all he doesn't qualify under your description of responsible breeding as stated in this previous post you made here:
IMO breeding any of the four accepted colors is fine,as long as the heath testing (OFA, thyroid, vWD, etc) is complete, the parents are representative of the breed standard, and there has been some attempt to prove the soundness of the parents (either through conformation shows, or various working arenas).

"congratulations!"
Why? For what? That a backyard bred litter has been born? That they will probably end up in homes not good enough for them? That the odds are at least half of them won't stay in those homes permanently? That their parents have minimal health testing, increasing the chances the puppies won't have good health? That their sire at least has questionable temperament based on not being able to pass even a puppy evaluation at the UDC National?
As I understand it neither of these dogs would be allowed to be bred in Germany, and I have been hearing for over 20 years how superior the German breeding system is to the American one.

What is the dam's pedigree?
