never heard of them... The breeding community is really close, we all know each other even if we arent near one another. This is not a name I have heard.
Do they have a website?
Do they have proof of health testing on their dogs (OFA Hip & Elbows, CERF, PRA, vWD)?
Can they provide you with a past customer for recommendation?
Do they raise their dogs in a kennel? These dogs are companion animals and should be raised in a a setting with people not a barn, kennel or back yard. Unless that is where your dog will live when you get it (not likely).

I googled them and looked at their website. It does not mention any health testing or guarantees. It does mention that they remove the dew claws. Personally I don't like that. There is much debate on that issue and you must decide that one. The prices are on the low side of the pricing scale. That probably reflects that this looks like it is more of a hobby than a business.
Make sure to ask all the questions and make sure you are satisfied before you purchase a dog from any breeder.

Remember that breeders who don't health test, offer no guarantees, ect...still can turn a mighty good profit (i.e. 'business') even if pups are sold for less than average.

Dew claws are the "fifth" digit almost like a thumb. There are those that say it is valuable and helps the dog hold things and does help while running. Others say that it is unnnecessary and can cause problems such as getting torn off or caught on things. Then it must be removed as an adult and this is painful to the dog. It is claimed that the dew claw being removed as a baby is a relative simple procedure and heals quickly. It is done without anesthesia and from what I have read it is NOT painless.
One of my dogs has her dew claws removed and my other 2 don't. My preference is not to remove them. We have had no problems with the dew claws but we do not see that it has had any negative impact on the one that does have hers removed.
Look at this thread for a more complete discussion of dew claws.
