Puppies that stay with mothers longer learning inhibition of the biting reflex, and are easier to housebreak. A good mother can teach a puppy to start using the pads. Don't forget that just because a breeder shows, this means nothing about her overall skills as a breeder. Some breeders show for all the wrong reasons, and we've had breeders who been members here who claim they show, but who've knowingly sold very sick dogs. Do you know if this breeder does health testing of her breeding stock?
I know she has had the sire tested and I also believe his mother as well. Although, they do come from reputable lines...that means nothing in the hands of a some people. (Not saying her specifically, just saying).

She has a bunch of Moonlights, Lake Buena Vista, and Prestigious (I think thats how you spell it, etc).
