| Re: Newbie question about buying from Germany
other than the tail, another difference is drive, yes you can get a very drivey dog here, but for the most part, IMO the working ability is much better in dogs you get from Germany. Also their are more breeders in germany who stay within the standard. That's not to say breeders here breed out of standard, but rotties have gotten so big and lost the working ability. another difference is most german breeders won't give you any sort of guarantee on the pup. I know when I sell a puppy to a buyer, they know i'll stand behind the pup. In germany your going to spend 3-5k for a pup and in a year the hip may be bad, you get no refund or another pup etc.....and like you said your not going to see the dog, and chances are it's not going to be one of the better ones out of the litter.
