Another idea from a breeder friend(he breeds American bullies) was thinking of breeding his male with my girl and that he would help selling the pups.
Just so you know, I almost lost my female and ALL the pups recently when her uterus ruptured. The C-section was in the thousands. Then I had to wipe all nine of their butts with a wet wipe every two hours for the next several days to make them poop and pee so they wouldn't die. And I had to supervise them while they nursed to make sure she didn't accidentally squish them (if I hadn't, there would be 2 puppies out of 9 left. oi). This meant I didn't get to sleep AT ALL for several DAYS.
And that's just one tiny thing that can go wrong.
That doesn't count the cost of food.
Or the cost of formula if she had problems nursing them.
She will never be bred again. I'm not putting her through that. Please don't do that to your dog.
Plus, German shepherd + akita + labrador + pit = big dark mutt. Those are the most difficult dogs to place and the most commonly euthanized. People who want hunting dogs are going to get puppies from dogs that are proven hunters. Do either of your dogs go out hunting for real? If not, those people are not your market.
People who want a guard dog and get a buy a big dark mutt are likely to get the dog and just tie it out in the yard its whole life. Are you okay with the possibility of your puppies spending their entire lives on a chain? Are you okay with them becoming junkyard dogs? Are you willing to microchip them before they leave, and take them back if the shelter calls a couple years from now when a buyer dumps your puppy at the shelter?
There's also basic costs beyond food:
Shots - $10 each. They should get their first shots at 8 weeks, then 10, then 12. You're looking at a couple hundred dollars for shots alone if you have around 10 puppies. They also need to be wormed which costs $$$.
Basically, breeding is a total crapshoot. Your dog and all the puppies could die. Your dog could have major complications and live, and all the puppies could still die and you'll lose a lot of $$$. Your dog and puppies could live, and you lose a lot of $$$. Sometimes everyone can live and everything goes perfect, and you have perfect puppy buyers who are wonderful people and they're all sold and maybe then you'll break even
