I would be very very careful of a German breeder who is selling Biewers at that price. There are only a very select few breeders in Germany that I myself would purchase a puppy from and none of the breeders that I am aware of that have Biewers of any quality offers their puppies at that price.
If you want to start a quality breeding program, you need to start with quality dogs. You will need to
pay for that. Take the time to look at peoples websites and really LOOK at the dogs that are being sold.. there is REALLY a difference and you can see it.. just like yorkies there is a difference in quality.. it depends on how proud you want to be of what you produce. You need to start with a good foundation.
You really want to be able to see the parents, touch them, pick them up, feel the weight, the build, watch them walk .. observe how they act.. hang out with them.. see a few of their previous litters.. KNOW WHAT YOUR BUYING! That's very difficult to do by going to Germany for a day..
If you develop a relationship with a German breeder, learn their lines, see their prior puppies, contact their owners, see what they've thrown.. follow them then at least you have some idea what your getting into..that may make some sense.. ask for testing, health gurarantees, what genetic issues their lines have experienced (of course they'll have had none). I've purchased from 4 breeders in Germany, not one health guarantee or contract (this was a few years ago when this was just about the only option available to us for Biewers) We've come along way in a few years and there are some wonderful breeders in Germany but you will pay for the good dogs.. you get what you pay for!!!
You can find good breeders here in the states that will sell you puppies with breeding rites once you have developed a relationship with them, going on the forums is a great first step. This does take time. Things worth doing well always do.. again, it depends how much you want to invest into your program.. how much of your money, how much of your time and how much of yourself.. your choices will show in the end.
