The only thing that bothers me about the site is that it seems too willing to advertise its litters. I would advise calling the breeder and asking every question you can think of: are the parents OFA clear, how many litters does the breeder produce in a year, what are their reasons for breeding those particular parents. Make sure you can see the whelping area and meet and observe the parents. Also, the breeder should be asking you a lot of questions, too, not just going for the sale. A responsible breeder who truly loves her dogs will do everything possible to ensure they're going to a good home.

They look good, I sure would take a drive or plane trip to go see this place in person before you fork out a lot of cash for these animals.
Ask about ... Puppy guarantees ?
Health Records?
If they have stable hips and joint?
Good Luck on getting a new puppy

I am wary of any breeder that breeds THREE different breeds. At the very least, parents and grandparents should have OFA clearanaces for hips and elbows and you should get a two year health guarantee.
If they cannot do that for you...go someplace else!!!!

Hard to tell, based on a website. In my personal opinion, you should meet the breeder, the 'parents' and the litter of pups you'll be choosing from, BEFORE agreeing to purchase one.
If you don't get to meet the animals, breeder, and see the property they're kept on.....then you'll have to wonder what they have to hide....

Personally, I would look for a breeder that specializes in ONE breed, not multiple.
