How to identify German Shepherd purebreed puppies?

I am looking to buy German Shepherd puppies and I was wondering if there were identifying features of German Shepherd purebred puppies. Any link to an external site or plain information would be welcome.

1. Yes - two things - the breed standard, and the pedigrees of each parent that the reputable breeder will have and show you.
2. No
3. here are some links to help you buy any purebred pups. there are so many BYBs that you need to be very careful and be willing to spend a lot of money to get a well bred pup. other wise go to a rescue league to adopt and save a life. below are some links these are a some to help you in the buying process: http://www.sparkshire.com/buyinga.htm http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/beforeyoubuy.htm http://www.dog-breeds.net/Buying_A_Puppy.htm http://stoppuppymills.org/puppy_buying_tips.html here is some on german shepperds: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/germanshepherd.htm http://www.akc.org/breeds/german_shepherd_dog/index.cfm and here is one that has rescue groups so if you deside to adopt: http://www.petfinder.com/search/search.cgi?pet.Animal=Dog&pet.Breed=huskey&pet.Age=&pet.Size=&pet.Sex=&location=east+yorkshire
4. If the parents are registered. there are certain characteristics, but some people are very good at breeding mixes that look purebred. id say if you definetly want a purebred, then make sure the parents are registered and the puppy has papers.
