Fred Lanting, a retired SV judge, invited my wife and I to his home today to meet visiting German breeders Ferdi and Francis van de Kruisweg of http://www.pfalzerheide.com/ . They are as personable and straight forward as anyone I have met in the dog world. The first thing they mentioned about any dog brought up was hip/elbow status.
Francis told me she titled her first SCH. 3 dog at 11 years old. I would not hesitate to contact them if I was interested in a German dog.
Just for the record, in my search for a German bred bitch, I did a lot of research and contacted 3 U.S. breeders. I guess you guys know your stuff, because the 3 were highly recommended here and all 3 gave me a very honest evaluation of their dogs. If anyone feels they need these names, P.M. me. I would not hesitate to buy from any of these breeders.
I am new here, but not new to German Shepherds. Lots of crooks out there and I'm trying very hard not to make the same mistake again.
My wife and I will be at the NASS and would love to meet some of you folks.
Best, Rik.

Wonderful to know there are still good referrals out there! I will most likely be at the NASS this year, we'll see you there! I will be looking for a bitch puppy sometime next year I think.

Rik,
By the way, I would not hesitate to recommend Kirschental kennel's of Germany to add to your list. They are everything you discribed in your original post.
Great folk's,
Brent.

Brent, if the sun is shining, I'll be easy to spot. Look for the reflection off my head.
