Thanks for your advice and opinions and like i said i am going to speak to the owner first (who is on the list for the midlands GSD breed club) before i decide anything for definate and i will see what i think then. If i still dont think it is right and i dont get the right answers i will not have the pup but if she had genuine reasons to be away and not just that she fancied a holiday and gives the answers i am looking for to other questions then i will consider it.

I am not going to go into it blind and just take it cause i can or anything like that, i am going to dig into it, its a lot of money to pay and i made a mistake before when buying a pedigree(it was a cat not a dog but same things apply), i'm not about to do it again.
