I have imported some that were not up to par for my program but I have also bought here in the states that also were not up to par.
I have one breeder in Europe that I am great friends with an trust 100% we work together.
She told me the one thing I may not like with Paulie is his ears, they are bigger/taller than what I have had but they are in balance with his overall confirmation so I am perfectly happy with him.
Leo and I make our choices based on our own opinions and I have learnt not to judge others by rumors and gossip, only by my personal experience with that person!!.
We listened to others opinions like gospel when we were new and actually missed out on great oppurtunities only to find out later they bought the dogs that we had asked their opinion of and they told us oh no, that dog is not good they will only sell you junk... haha then they bought the dog?? Apparently they did this to more than just us.
Live and learn!!!!!!!
