american bred. and i will do that thx for the tip also ne more advice would be great and much appreciated thx

won't need much else, they're great dogs

generally speaking, german bred GS' > american bred ones in terms of health
They got so overbred and hip displasia became so common in them that the german kennel club started requiring genetic testing for a predisposition for hip displasia. If the dog tested positive for it they couldn't be registered as a purebred GS. Being all white or black will also disqualify them lol.
American bred ones have no such requirements so it's gone prettymuch unchecked.
Growing up a buddy of mine had an american bred white GS and she was pretty healthy and lived to (I think) ~15 years old
