The pros;The person running it might make money. That's a very little might, though, as there's a huge risk in the dog breeding business and if you are giving the pregnant dog and her puppies all the proper care, you are most likely going to end up breaking even or loosing money.

Is a 10 month old gsd male able to breed a 2 year old gsd female?
Physically yes but it is HIGHLY recommended you don't. GSD's have one of the highest rates of CHD (canine hip dysplasia) and x-rays to determine if your dog has it or is susceptible cannot be done until the age of 2 years. X-rays must be done and sent in to OFA (your vet will do that) for evaluation. It takes between 3 and 6 weeks usually for results to come back. CHD is genetic in many instances and if you breed dysplastic dogs you are dooming their puppies to a lifetime of pain. Other tests needed for German Shepard Dogs are elbows (done the same time as hips), testing for Von Willebrand's disease, cardiac, and eyes. Many things cannot be tested for but in this breed ALL of those things should be done prior to breeding.
What are the chances of getting merle pups from non-merle parents?
The chances of getting merle pups from non-merle parents are extremely low, as the merle coat pattern is typically inherited as a specific genetic trait. If both parents are non-merle and do not carry the merle gene, none of their offspring will be merle. However, if one or both parents are carriers of the merle gene (even if they don't express the merle pattern), there is a possibility of producing merle pups. Genetic testing can help determine carrier status.
