Excellent point. I think visiting the kennel is key. I was looking for a pup a while back and asked to visit the kennel, and the breeder (lowercase) refused. She brought them over to my house. It told me nothing of what kind of life they had. Fortunately, I decided against that breeder. Too many red flags after speaking to her.
I wonder, in general, if responsible breeders do open their kennels up for visits from prospective buyers.
