great tips!
also, check her ears and make sure they are clean. ask to see parents. ask how many other dogs they breed. i would shy away if they breed many. ask if the pup was kept in a cage or family raised. be sure to find out what foods they feed if you bring her home. you want to make any food changes slowly. you can always ask for vet references. i would even ask how many litters she has every year from this pups parents. this will help you know if they are mass breeding.
you can make the questions sound like you are just extremely interested in her program, or you can be forward and just tell her you are picky. either way, these are questions i would ask!
good luck
she looks super cute!!!
