Alot of breeders are leary of having people at their house for a number of reasons. I've heard of breeders showing puppies to some one and the phone will ring. They go to answer it and the person that came to look at the pups is gone with the pup. Also if you let people into your place you have no idea where their shoes have been and they might drag something in with them when they come in to the breeders.
When I got Roxy I met the lady half way. I had some references that I contacted before hand, and she only had a litter of pups available at the time, also only one breed. I check her web site often and she only has about 2 to 3 litters a year.
When I got Nicky I drove 9 hours 1 way and 9 hours back, bc I wanted to check things out.
My recommendation is to ask the breeder if you can contact their vet and the other person meeting them. Also see if they could provide some references.
