just because all puppies get sold doesn't mean a breeder is reputable. What were her reasons for breeding these mixes? What age did she let the puppies go? What kind of health testing did she do? How old were mom & dad at first breeding and how old when retired? How often were they bred? Did she sell on a spay/neuter contract?
