I'm nervous too. I'm in the same boat and have had nightmares about it. The breeder I'm looking at is about 5 hours away one way. I've researched her and she seems to come out clean. Also, she has a good show reputation and seems to have a good reputation with how her dogs are. We have talked extensively and she doesn't hesitate to answer my long emails. I researched SO many breeders looking for specific things I wanted and she was the only one who came close. I even worked with an animal communicator. I'm going to make two trips. One is to visit her house and take a look at the puppies and the other to pick up the puppy. Both days will be 5 hr trip one way. See the house and turn around and come back. People think I am crazy...but I am too nervous bout handing money to someone when I have never seen where they live and how the puppies are raised.
