i went to 2 breeders today looking for german shepard puppies

Question
can u help me in what to look for in selecting a well tempormented puppy, healthy, eyes, ears that will stand up.  it's so hard to tell when they are 8weeks old.  we have had shepards in the past but they were from our own dogs and also from people that didn't want him anymore...they were wonderful pets.  the only one we had from a puppy was one from our own litter.  

Answer
HI CANDY
WELL, U MUST GO AND SEE THE PARENTS IF POSSIBLE.  ASK MANY QUESTIONS, ASK TO SEE THEIR WARRANTY.  OF COURSE A WARRANTY THAT COVER EVERYTHING IS GOING TO MAKE THE PUPPY PRICE VERY HIGH.
WHEN BREEDING A PAIR, NOBODY CAN PREDICT A PERFECT LITTER WITH NOT A PROBLEM SLIPPING THROUGH THE GENES.  AS GOOD OF LINES AS I BUY FROM IN WEST GERMANY, I GOT ONE LONG COAT OUT OF 6 LITTERS, BUT HAD PEOPLE FIGHTING FOR HIM AND HE IS EXCELLING IN SEARCH N RESCUE IN N.Y.
ASK ABOUT PREVIOUS LITTERS, HOW THEY ARE DOING AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING.
I CAN TELL AT 8 WKS OLD IF A PUPPY IS GOING TO HAVE HIGH DRIVE, CONFORMATION TO SHOW, ETC.  THE EARS SHOULD BE STARTED TO STAND ALSO.
WHEREVER YOUR FROM, JUST KEEP SEARCHING AND DO NOT BE IN A HURRY TO MAKE A PURCHASE, JUST BE CAREFUL, I HAVE BEEN TAKEN FROM AMERICAN BREEDERS OF WEST GERMAN PUPS AND I ONLY BUY FROM WEST GERMANY ON MY OWN NOW.  I HAVE ENOUGH FRIENDS TO DO THIS AND KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND WHAT LINES I NEED TO BETTER MY PROGRAM.
U MIGHT WANT TO CONTACT WWW.HAUSJURIS.COM, MEGAN HAS PLENTY OF PUPS, THEY ARE KINDA HIGH, BUT SHE IS HONEST, HAVE GREAT STOCK, SUPER LOOKING PUPS. GOOD LUCK.
IF U HAVE NOT FOUND ONE BY FALL, U MIGHT WANT TO LOOK ON MY LITTERS TO SEE IF I DID BREED OCEANA, SHE IS NOW READY AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT I WANT TO DO.
