| Re: Newbie question about buying from Germany My suggestion would be to continue your shopping before making a commitment for the puppy you seem to want. I don't know about others, but I paid approximately $1500 for each one of my girls. Both are happy, and healthy. The one is simply my house dog, the other my show. The show girl is not yet 2 years, so only one health clearance has been done to date, but my point is, I paid no more than what you are planning on paying for your German import puppy, and my girls' parents do have health clearances done. So, hopefully when the time comes, mine shall pass all of her clearances as well. But, essentially, all puppies are crapshoots. If they have it, they have it. But at least here in American, most ethical breeders are getting all clearances possible.
Good luck with your puppy search.
