Narrow it down a bit............have a think about what faults your girls have, what good points you will need in the stud to overcome those faults, once you have that, then look at things like colours i.e. what you ultimately want to specialise in etc. and once you've got that, you then can start to trawl around to find the boys that fit your needs. And always have more than one boy in mind because remember when your queen comes into call, the boy you choose might be busy at the time with another queen.
