I would definately be sure that she is upt on vaccines AND when you go to pick her up take a few minutes to really examine her -- feel for lumps where she shouldn't have them, be sure her eyes and ears are clear, and if it won't insult the seller, take her temp.

I would think that the seller would be ok considering you are bring her into a home with new puppies AND you can get her vet checked before you walk in your door.

If were me, I would keep as much physical distance from the other members of the pack as possible until you are able to get her vet checked. I like to isolate new members for a few days anyway to give them a chance to learn the smells and sounds of the new environment plus it gives me a chance to watch for nasties such as kennel cough.
