    We didn't go see this breeder and won't be buying from them. We are looking into alternatives and think we have found a breeder we are happy with.

    If you want to make doubly sure that this is a reputable breeder you could always contact the breed club to see if they have heard of said breeder and what sort of reputation they have ;).

    Good call. I know this thread is 8 months old now but I'm interested to hear how it worked out for you in the end. There's some very, very knowing advice on this thread.

    We got a dog through an ad on the Kennel Club. He's adorable BUT... this was clearly a back yard breeder and he was ill with fleas, worms and two nasty stomach bugs in his first few months. It took a long time for him to get better and we suffered from general lack of sleep.

    Benson is a brilliant lovely puppy, who had a rough start not that you can tell from temperament or behaviour.
