Buying a dog from germany or any country in NO way assures anyone that the dogs have been bred for HEALTH. Snce almost NO breeders outside of the US and Canada actually test the dogs hearts or eyes and in some countries even the hip and elbow certifications are a joke because almost every dog exported is touted as HD- ED- from those countries (and the rating rarely prove to be such when the dogs are re done here!)

Many countries like to say they have no heart problems but it's just not true. If it's a Rottweiler then the odds are high the genes are there in the population of that country. In other countries a lot of dogs die of "heat stroke" and "poisoning" yeah....... If you do not test for something you cannot say it is not there. Ignoring it does not make it not exist

That said many US breeders also do almost no testing. You have to do your own research and checking of relatives and background
