Hi,

I'm a newbie. I'm looking to buy a Rott puppy from a breeder in Germany. I won't be able to see the pup; I'd have it shipped to me in Texas (I live near San Antonio). So I won't get his best pup. But the parents are great (no HD or ED, of course): the mother is Freya vom Räuberweg (sister of Filou) and the sire is Hassan von der Thalheimer Flur (son of Mambo von der Crossener Ranch). I figure I can count on a healthy dog. But I'm interested in hearing from anyone who thinks that my plan is a mistake. Also, I'm interested in hearing if anyone would argue strongly that I should buy from a local breeder, and if so who that breeder would be (I guess we can't name specific breeders?).

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
