Thanks for all the responses on this. Sorry to be so long responding but I'm in the middle of a nightmare project at work and have had no time for chat or forums.
Woogie, I decided not to go see it. I already knew that particular area is notorious for puppy mills with horrendous conditions, and I had talked to the breeder about it. He assured me that he wasn't one of those, but the day we were scheduled to go see it, I was having a very bad feeling about it and called and cancelled. The hubby was a little disappointed because he was eager to go see a new puppy, but I explained the best I could and he attributed it to "feminine intuition."
On a brighter note, I'm scheduled to go see two new ones this week
