Look around this site and you will find lots of stories about breeders who were as nice as can be before you had the puppy. Once the puppy is in your home and there is a problem, another side of them surfaces. What exactly is her guarantee? Unfortunately, too many of them aren't worth the paper they are printed on. I would ask for references from past customers, both those that were happy and those that were not to see how a problem is handled.
Personally, unless I had seen multiple pups from a breeder and knew for sure that she has healthy lines and truly stands behind her pups, I would not feel comfortable putting down a non-refundable deposit.
Search the net for references to her, too. You would be surprised at what you find! For instance, she sells at nextdaypets.com- one of my pet peeve sites.
