Thank you phfgkl and Topknot! I do appreciate your answers! Yes, these pups are only a month old and I am not even sure if I should bother to go look at it? Yes, the sire is a champion, she sent a picture of him, but not the mother,she is not a champion. On the AKC website she lists the sire and dam,along with their registration numbers. Her own website though, is kind of brief, being only one page and dosn't really show much of her dogs, but does tell how long she has been showing and breeding.

I would not hold it against anyone for cutting down the coat of a dog they don't show or is a mother dog, nor do they have to have extensive web pages. But I was hoping they were being honest with me. Now I am not so sure. I would rather pay a pet dog price for a pet dog than a high sum for a pet dog. Which is what I did with my first dog.

Thank you both for taking the time to answer me!
