She sprang it on me at the very last second and I was shocked! Like I was literally about ready to hand her the cash. But...you have to think about it like this--even if you want this puppy more than anything, this is a 12-15 year commitment, so it is worth being picky over. I was just very adamant with her that I couldn't purchase a puppy without seeing the parents, and she reluctantly brought them out. It was very strange.
I am certainly not suggesting that your breeder is a bad lady at all, especially because I thought that her website seemed trustworthy, but I do think that you should at least express your concern to her. Maybe she can send you pictures of her facilities...and when she comes to do her house visit to your home, you could suggest she bring the dam and sire of your pup, to see how socialized they are.

I hope some of this was helpful! And I wish you the best of luck. Keep us all updated on how it goes!

Great Advise.
