I know something may not show up until later but she went over the contract with us line by line. IF there was a medical concern later on, I have no doubts that Melissa would act honorably.

I sent a pm to the original poster but I just wanted to add my 2 cents here as well. Mustard Seed Meadows is a breeder!
It's great that you had a wonderful experience and glad you posted it. However, recommending a breeder is a big responsibility. Recommendation should not be given lightly and only if one is thorougly knowledgable of the breeder's breeding practices.

The contract gave out some red flags. Every breeder at one time or another will experience some difficulty in the breeding program. But, it's how they handle the situation that makes the determination if a breeder is reputable or not.
