They are more expensive, but if you go to a proper breeder then they should have the hips, elbow etc score tested.
Ours cost us near on a grand, cause his mum has won best in breed at crufts twice, and his dad was a show dog too, in Australia. But, I was happy to pay cause he's gonna be a big boy. The dad is a HUGE rotty, I mean massive. I've never seen one that big before. The mum was almost as tall as me on her back legs, and I'm 6'2. paws on my shoulders she could look me in the eye. Winston should be bigger apparently!
Plus it's nice having a puppy bouncing about
