Brooke got ringworm 2 weeks after I got her and it was not as easy to get rid of as in everyone elses' case. We battled it for over 2 months. She gave it to me and my 2 chihuahuas, but not my husband and my other 2 yorkies!! We had to do stinky sulfur dips and medicated dips and medication. You have to wash the bedding every other day and if you have carpet it wouldn't be good to bring the puppy into your house with the ringworm because it can get in your carpet and start to breed. It is a fungus and can grow in weird places. I would wait until the breeder gets the ringworm under control and the wood's lamp test comes back negative before I would bring the pup home. It is not a fun process or treatment. Good Luck in whatever you decide!
