Ask if you can take the pup to the vet first before committing to a purchase. That will ease your mind if the vet says the pup is healthy. Also take it to YOUR vet, not theirs. I bought my pups from a breeder. I was sooooo ignorant about lots of things when I bought them. Her vet said they were healthy (and they were for the most part) but once they had a visit to my vet i found out one had a heart murmur. I don't know how her vet could have missed it. It closed up and went away when he was a year old... but still... so just make sure you bring the pup to your vet.
