Hello and welcome to the forum!
Of course the general advice is to meet some dogs in person, talk with many breeders not just about their dogs or puppies you'd like but rather just in general information, and spend a lot of time combing through old threads. Perhaps plan a trip to Europe to take a look, hopefully meet lots of dogs that way, visit the breeder you're interested in.
A bit of a downer, but things are not always how it appears re breeders and dogs on the forum.. As always one must spend considerable time digging around to get a better picture.
As you seem to be in a bit of a rush to get a dog, I'd recommend speaking to domestic breeders for their advice too.
Best regards
Jing
