I am about to buy a German shepherd puppy and the breeder just told me that their were only two puppies born in the litter ... is this a bad sign will the puppies be healthy is this normal?

It's not necessarily a bad sign if there were only two puppies in the litter. Sometimes litters can be smaller in size. As long as the breeder has taken proper care of the puppies and the parents have been health tested, the puppies should be healthy. Make sure to ask the breeder for details about the health and upbringing of both the puppies and the parents.
