I would prefer to see where my future dogs are born. But honestly, before I would buy another dog from a breeder, I would know the breeder well enough that I would think she/he would know me well enough there wouldn't be a problem with me coming to their home.
This is why I recommend going to dog shows. You get to see the dogs, meet breeders and it's on neutral territory for the first meeting. By being an observer at shows, you can pick up on the interaction breeders have with their dogs, and it can be very enlightening.
