Unfortunately, this person is NOT a good breeder. Her dogs are cute because they resemble one or the other of the purebreed dogs that she's mixing.
My bigger concern is that I'm certain that she has not TESTED her sires/dams for all the genetic problems that pop up in any of the purebreds she used as her foundation pairs. If you believe in this person so dearly, you should be able to ask her for the actual testing done on her breeding stock - and on any litter she's selling.
So many of these smaller purebreds have problems that run in their breeding lines. Unless she acutally KNOWS the complete history of the lines she has mixed, then she knows nothing.
BTW: In NJ, you can find lovely yorkies for the price she's asking for a mutt. This person is charging enough that she should be testing her litters for all the problems that may arise in smaller pure breeds.
Good luck.
