I noticed that she posted in the "For Sale or Wanted" section and all the breeders that currently have posts in there are pretty reputable.
I have to agree with the BYB's PMing you though. I saw that this one person posted in the General forum about pups available so I contacted her and got pictures, then asked her a TON of questions about references, etc., and haven't received a reply in over a month. I would still be careful. Maybe this doesn't mean anything, but usually I look at the breeder's # of posts. If they're over 20,000, I know they're a central part of the community here at YT so they most likely are reputable.
