I would not buy from her.. She is a broker, NOT A BREEDER!!!! REsearch a breeder, then enter their name on google to see what you find ;)
Never heard of her, looked on the web and found NOTHING that would get me to buy from her.
This is some of what you should ask ANY breeder you are considering buying from. If they start with excuses and/or reasons there dogs do not have what you are asking for, do not walk away....RUN away.
When looking at puppies ask to see, you must see, the results of
the parents OFA ( Orthopedic Foundation for Animals ) scores for
hips, elbows and patella. Also ask to see the CERF ( Canine Eye
Registration Foundation) BAER (hearing) and Cardiac results. Do
not accept any excuses for not having them a reputable breeder
can show you. They can also trace the parents lineagefor several
generations. If the sire was off site they will still have the proof.
They can provide a pedigree of the pup. Not just registration papers.
Pedigree means they can list at least three generations back from
the pup. They can tell you the pro's and cons of the breed.
Also, they can show you championships/titles won by the parents.

Good Luck xx
Do they show? Health screens? Any titles? Genetic testing?
If not, they are not reputable.
