Always ask to meet the dam and the sire if he is on the premises
Ask for the Breeder's vet's phone number -- be sure to follow through with that phone call. Ask about the general health/health care that the dogs receive and be sure to ask about illnesses any of the breeder's dogs have had. It is never acceptable to me for a breeder to give puppy shots to save $$. I want to have a record of vet visits so that I know the pups have been evaluated at least a couple of times regarding their general health.
