Grazefull1, I'm picky with my dogs. Most dogs I saw advertised were of BYB to me. I'm not real picky with conformation however dogs that display obvious faults don't appeal to me. For example common faults I see in the Euro line are roachy backs, poor rear ( straight or cowhocked), and poor eye ( haws showing). I'll admit I got lucky with Stone and his line. Despite being part of a "heavy" line his eyes are "tight" like most you see. He has no roach back, ( although right now he looks like the "humpback of notre dame" due to his growth stages), and decent rear. As with Thor the only thing I would ping him on would be his eyes again because its an obvious fault. Luckily it doesn't interfere with his sight but its still not something you'd want on a "pick puppy."
I've been to those sites ( which are quite often refered) and neither of the dogs appeal to me, personally. At one point one of the breeders and I were trying to import dogs from the same kennel.
