Why do you think that there could be red flags?
There are quite a few reasons actually:
They breed at least 7 breeds + multiple mixed breeds. (most reputable breeders breed one or two breeds at the most)
They are on USDA lists (this usually means "puppy mill")
In fact if you google their name & kennel you will find articles related to puppy stores & and pet shop puppies site that lists them as a breeder.
NO reputable breeder sells to pet stores!
MO is the puppy mill capital of the world. They have puppies advertised all over the place, some as young as 8 weeks that I found.
Are you visiting them in person, seeing the dogs, puppies, living conditions??
JMO, but I wouldn't touch this breeder or line their pockets at all!
