Well, Germany's Best are frequently dogs that are completely unacceptable to Americans. Many of their "Throwaways" (half assed?, LOL) on the other hand.are very American in type, drop dead gorgeous, and very likely to give their good qualities and more. Aren't we here for knowledge and education? I have bred to a German Dog, got very American type, got an American Champion, and one on the way. Recently I have seen puppies bred by my Daughter(Edie Hall) and Son in Law( Jim Hall), and Juanita Williamson that are absolutely astounding. This was from a lovely American ch. and a German bitch. Wow...it is like a different breed. Sturdy, boned, fearless, handsome, like the beautiful German dogs of old. Beautiful toplines and heads. Acceptable necks. The color is unbelievable, they are very very black and very very red. The love everyone and fear no one, even as puppies. Like they say on X factor..."The truth is out there"...
