I'd suggest "buy the breeder" first. There are many, many threads on the traits of good breeders. First and foremost they will be interested in placing their puppies in good homes, and breed for the betterment of the breed.
Prices vary all over....I personally would not go by price, but a healthy quality pup now at $2000 could be a bargain over a $800 pup that you find out is sick later.

I would personally not get a pup from someone that was hesitant to show me the parents in person as well as their home environment that they raise the pups in.

All puppies are cute, be sure to use your head and common sense, and go with your gut feelings.
