buying a german shepherd

We are currently doing our research as buying a german shepherd.

Now we are not looking to show/breed our dog but i'm amazed at the difference in prices. We're going to look at some which cost £350 and some that are costing £650! the more expensive ones, the lady asked all the questions, and seems very interested in the kind of home it's coming too (which i know is good), told me all about hip scores etc, will be kc reg and comes with papers. However, the cheaper one won't be kc reg,but the father is - but is being brought up around other pets and kids.

My question is, does it really matter as we are not intending to breed or show the dog? obviously we'll look at the parents and see what the temperaments are like but we really did not want to spend £650. Do you think it'll be a very unhealthy dog?

ooooh good news, my parents took the rescue GSD and she's brilliant, so loving and so far showing no signs of aggression, even whilst eating a bone or playing with toys. Also great with our kids. I'm going to see a litter of gsd in a fortnight - so hopefully happy ending alround! thank you for all your great advice
