That being said, price isn't always the best indicator of a good breeder. There are a lot of ones out there selling puppies for 3000+ because of their extremely small size.
Take your time in researching what a good breeder is all about and what breeding for the betterment of the breed actually is. It's going to take more than a week to do it.
Interview multiple breeders. They should be interviewing you, too in order to make sure you will be responsible with their babies. You are building what should be a long term relationship here, this isn't the time for speed dating.
