That is some great questions to ask. It is also great if you can see where the puppies and parents are raised. When you are talking to someone remeber it is easy to say "what you want to hear". It is always great to let your breeder know that you are ready for one of their babies. Let them know you are familer with the breed, about your vet. If you have questions, please ask them. I know that I like it when I have a prospective new owner ask me anything they are just wondering about. Good luck in your search
