I feel bad for the OP. But here's what I don't understand?? Why buy from an online breeder?? Maybe not all but most are puppy mills. In the short time I've been researching dogs. Reputable breeders don't advertise much..if any. Maybe on the Akc breeder site. Which Akc post. Usually have a waiting list before the Bitch is in heat or puppies are born. Should be able to track at least 5 generations and research those dogs. Go into the house and see living conditions. IMO I need to know where my $$ goes. I research before I buy a car,tv ect...A Dog is a bigger commitment imo. If ppl researched there purchases better the pupply mill may disappear because nobody would buy from them JMO
